For a 1.5-month-old baby with redness, rashes, and now skin peeling on the buttocks, the condition is most likely diaper dermatitis (diaper rash), possibly with some skin barrier damage.T-Bact is an antibiotic and should not be used routinely for normal diaper rashes or peeling, as it may lead to antibiotic resistance.
Next Steps
Cleanse gently using lukewarm water or alcohol-free wipes.
Leave the area open without a diaper and let it dry.
Apply a barrier cream preferably Zinc oxide–based creams. (Apply thick layer each time after cleaning).
Moisturize if dryness or peeling is significant. You can use Coconut oil.

Hello, I understand your concern
It’s probably diaper dermatitis-due to prolonged contact with urine and stool, which irritates the delicate baby skin.
Frequent or watery stools, Infrequent diaper changes, Use of wipes with alcohol or fragrance, and Fungal overgrowth if rash is persistent contribute to this.
Next Steps
Continue breast feeding
Frequent Diaper Changes – every 2–3 hours and immediately after stools
Gentle Cleaning – use plain warm water and cotton, avoid harsh wipes
Air Time – keep the area open to air for a few minutes at each change
Barrier Cream – apply a thick layer of zinc oxide-based cream like Sialoderma after every change
Loose Diapers – avoid tight diapers that rub against skin
Health Tips
Red flags:
If rash spreads or becomes very red and shiny
If there are pustules or raised red borders – may suggest fungal infection
If baby seems very uncomfortable or has fever

• Pat dry fully before applying any cream
• Apply rash free cream 2–3 times/day, especially after every diaper change
•. Aquaphor Baby Healing Ointment locally application twice daily
• Leave diaper-free time 15–20 mins daily to let the skin breathe

No need,
Don't apply Antibiotics unnecessarily.
Just discard the initial 10 ml of milk if you are breastfeeding as it will decrease lactose load on the child GI tract and subsequently it will decrease lactic acid production. Redness is due to acid only.

Please keep the area dry and aerated. Expose the nappy area to air in between - nappy free times are good. You can place the baby on the tummy after a nappy change ( but not after a feed) to offer this opportunity for tummy time while drying out the buttocks.
Next Steps
You can apply TBact twice a day to the rash. Regularly use some cream like Rashfree or a simple Vaseline when you change the nappy to provide a barrier to the acidic contents of stool/ urine.
Avoid harsh cloth or rubbing of the area. Cleaning the nappy area softly with your fingers and normal temperature water is advisable to avoid further excoriation.
The nappy area is prone to fungal infection if redness and moisture persist for a prolonged time. Observe for the next week. If rash increases, a picture of the rash will be more helpful in case it’s still not healing

Is the peeling limited to region around anus or throughout the buttocks? Does he pass frequent stools? A detailed examination is required before coming to a diagnosis.
Next Steps
book an online or in person consultation with a Paediatrician.
