Diaper rash creams are usually for treatment rather than prevention of diaper rashes.
And Rashes occur due to prolonged dampness .
It is recommended that if there are eruptions/bumps, then avoid using diapers for a while, till the rash subsides,
And the general dictum is to change the diaper every 3-4 hrs, regardless of soiling or urine in the diaper. No diaper should be used unchanged for more than 4 hrs.
This will avoid all the bumps and rashes in the future.
