POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. For severe itching in the diaper area, it's likely a case of diaper rash or irritation. You can apply a diaper rash cream containing zinc oxide, such as Desitin, Bepanthen, or Sebamed Diaper Rash Cream, as these provide a protective barrier and soothe irritation. If the rash appears to have redness, swelling, or fungal infection, an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (used only after consulting a doctor) may be needed.
Keep the area clean and dry, avoid using wet wipes with alcohol or fragrance, and change diapers frequently. Let your baby have some diaper-free time daily to allow the skin to breathe. If the rash persists, consult a pediatrician.
