Accepted Answer

Hello mommy, Avoid antihistamine creams because they can irritate the skin and make the rash worse. Cool (not hot) baths with oatmeal will ease an itchy rash, and, after your child's bath, apply calamine lotion or a baking soda solution to the rash.
Choose a non-alcohol-based moisturizer, such as Aquaphor Baby Healing Ointment or Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream. In general, remember that ointments are usually better than creams, which are usually better than lotions when it comes to moisturizing dry skin. Reapply moisturizers at least two or three times a day.
