Diaper rash
Hello,
My baby has got diaper rash on front in sensitive area. She is 6 1/2 month old. this is first time she got diaper rash. The earlier day before i noticed rash, my baby had fever 100.5, which reduced to 99.5 when i gave her baby liquid paracetamol.
I have applied diaper rash cream of Mom's & co. Rash has reduced, but still little discomfort. However she has no fever. Shud i take her to doctor??
Can i still make her wear diaper of bigger size?

No diaper should be used now for sometime.
Never leave diaper on for more than 2 hrs as it corrode the baby skin.
