Pediatrician 's  Response
Thank you for asking querry.
First of all please send photographs of rash if possible so that we can know what kind of rash it is.
Bacterial rash can take some time to reduce.
If the rash is red hot then you can try t-bact(mupirocin) along with candid you are applying.
Rash is like a wound in anal area and it will take time around 2 weeks.
Hope you find this helpful.
