Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I will be glad to be of assistance.
It will be important to see the rash and then diagnose what it is. If you could post a picture here, it would be very helpful. You have a feature to upload the reports / image by yourself at the right side of the query page, please utilize that so that I can answer your queries better.
In case you cannot post a picture, please give me a few more details regarding the rash.
From what you have described however it could be due to the rubbing of the nappy, i.e due to the friction.
For temporary relief, you can apply cortisone cream once a day on the rash for a week.
Awaiting your response and the pictures.
Thanks
Regards.
