Brief Answer:
You can use Siloderm ointment for external application

Detailed Answer:
Hi.... you can use Siloderm ointment for external application.
But, skin conditions are always best diagnosed and managed after seeing them directly. There could be a component of fungal infection also which is lingering there. So I suggest you upload an image of the diaper rash, so that I can see it and then guide you more scientifically.
