Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi
Welcome to the HCM

The reason for such complaints can be nappy rash or fungal infection. Regular change of nappy, application of thin layer of petroleum jelly before using nappy and keeping area open for some time in between each nappy change will help in prevention of nappy rash. You may use nappy rash ointment such as rashfree if rash is present.

Hopefully this will help you.

Take care
