Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What you have described about your baby is that he is having 'napi rash' due to allergic skin reaction.
You need to use moisturizing cream with zinc oxide composition thrice daily for the rashes to subside. Do not use steroid based cream.
Also, it would be better to change the manufacturer of diaper or use soft cloth materials to cover his genital area.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
