Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

First thing one should do in such scenario is leave the area dry.

do not keep any diapers so that moisture does not remain there.

If usage of diapers is inevitable please change it frequently. Do not clean the are by rubbing with a cloth. you may just keep the baby under tap water instead. Do not use excessive soap. Petroleum jelly etc may help

Some times antibiotics and antifungals may be prescribed by your doctor if the symptoms persist.

Hope this helps.
Take care
