This is diaper rash from leaving on wet diapers or nappies for too long. Allow baby diaper free / nappy free time for at least 4-6 hours, frequently check so as to change the diaper as soon as it is wet, wash the diaper zone with plain water while changing, apply coconut oil. B4nappi cream might help also. Apply it at least twice a day

It's because of prolonged diaper use ( as it's not there in any other part of the body)
Apply...Cetaphil lotion twice daily locally
Happynap cream twice daily
Zn20 drop - 0.5 ml once daily for 10 days
Health Tips
Don't use diaper for few days, instead use cotton clothes, changed the soiled clothes immediately, keep the area clean
