Hello dear parent! Maintain a good personal hygiene for your baby. Try applying pure coconut oil on the affected area to reduce the discomfort. Complete the course of medication as prescribed by your doctor. Use the diapers only when absolutely necessary and give some diaper free time everyday. Good luck and take care.
