1. Clean the Area:
Gently wash the area with lukewarm water and pat it dry. Avoid rubbing to prevent irritation.
2. Apply a Rash Cream:
Use a diaper rash cream or a cream containing zinc oxide (e.g., Desitin, Sudocrem, or Himalaya Diaper Rash Cream). These create a barrier and soothe irritation.
You can also try calamine lotion for mild rashes or redness.
3. Moisturize:
Apply a hypoallergenic, fragrance-free moisturizer or coconut oil to keep the skin hydrated and promote healing.
4. Avoid Tight Clothing:
Dress the baby in soft, loose-fitting cotton clothing to minimize friction on the thighs.
5. Check for Allergies:
If the rash worsens, consider whether a new product (like detergent, cream, or clothing) could be causing irritation.
When to See a Doctor:
If the rash spreads, looks infected (oozing, yellow crust), or doesn't improve in 2-3 days, consult your pediatrician.
