My son 2 weeks old has bad diaper rash

2018-09-27 09:58:22
My son is 2 weeks old and has bad diaper rash accompanied by strong crying when passing gas, pooping and peeing. My doctor advised to clean the area with wet cotton balls and then to apply siloderm. But siloderm is not helping and the rashes have become worse. Can I use lignocaine anaesthetic ointment and candid dusting powder to treat this?
