Can Calamine Lotion Be Safely Used For Whole Body Rashes With Itching?

My 3 month old has a bad rash all over her neck, chest, and stomach. I went to her doctors last week and they said she has a yeast infection and gave her medicated powder but her rash seems to be getting worse. She is now scratching at her chest. Is it safe to use calamine lotion on it?
