To get rid of diaper rash, gently wash the bottom with plain water and then blow dry the bottom with a hair dryer set on LOW every single time the diaper is changed. This usually clears it in a day or two - even the really bad rash that bleeds.This ALWAYS worked for my 10 cousin kids Just make SURE that you don't get too close with the hair dryer! Keep it on LOW and constantly moving and just long enough to dry the skin, which should only take about 30 seconds.or u can put a tablespoon of white vinegar into about 2 cups of warm water. Dip a rag into the water, squeeze it out, and dab it onto the diaper area do this after each diaper change. The only warning is if the diaper rash is bleeding or there is sores DO NOT use it will burn the child.

Here's what I do whenever my son gets diaper rash (which is not very often)
1. I change my baby's diaper every 4-6 hours
2. I use wet towel in wiping his entire diaper area
3. Apply Cetaphil cleanser (use as liquid soap)
4. Then wipe again with wet towel
5. Put on Desitin or Drapolene cream
Hope I helped!
