Whitish layer around baby rectum

2023-01-04 03:52:54
My baby is 2 months old. He wears a diapar most of the time now in the winter season. Earlier he has some red area around his rectum. I applied coconut oil on it. The redness is not there anymore but some whitish layer has taken its place now. Is it a diaper rash? How to heal it?
