What is better vasoline or diaper rash cream?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Diaper rash: A moisturizing non fragrant cream helps, and some have zinc in them that can help the skin heal.

Either.: Both will keep the skin dry and protected; whichever you prefer and use often will be the best. Hint: my mother-in-law preferred petroleum jelly/Vaseline.
