Suggest Remedy For Redness And Cracks In Labia In Toddler

My daughter is 2 years old, and she has eczema on her inner elbows and behind her knees. She never had a diaper rash at all except for one time when she had diarrhea. I usually used the Desitin rapid relief every so often as a preventative measure. When she got red in her labia area and her crack, I asked my husband to buy some more Desitin. He bought the extra strength kind. I did not notice a difference other than the texture of it was not as creamy. I kept putting it on to help, but it seemed to get worse or at least not get better. At the store, we looked at the other kind of Desitin I used to buy and saw that it said it was unscented. We ve always used unscented bath wash, lotion and detergent for her. I thought that must be it, so we bought the unscented kind and threw the other one away. It s been 3 days now, and it still looks bright red in her labia area! I don t know what to do!
