Hello,

* Following would be best measures for faster healing of your little angel`s diaper rashes on the vagina

- avoid further use of any diaper
- make her wear loose, clean, cotton inner wears
- local cleansing with antiseptic soap or liquid
- local application of polymycin cream 3 times a day if no history of drug sensitivity
- avoid commercial talcum powders or other applications
- sitz bath with lukewarm water added Epsom salt and lavender oil gives excellent healing properties natural way
- maintain her hydration with precise breastfeeding to avoid secondary urinary tract infection

* Observe the issue for next 2 days and later if swelling or redness persist, she may require prescription of antibiotics with her pediatrician.
