How to treat severe nappy rash

A. Oatmeal is a tried and tested remedy for diaper rash in babies. It provides relief from the pain. You can take a tablespoon of dried oatmeal and mix it in bathwater. Make your baby sit in the bath (hold him if he is too young and can’t balance himself) for 5-10 minutes, then pat dry his skin. Be gentle and do not rub as rubbing will only aggravate the condition. If the diaper rash is severe, then try this remedy twice a day for best results.
