Hello. Thank you for your question. Rashes in babies are often difficult to resolve. You have already begun the processbby using moisturizer. Sight unseen, a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream twice per day can help, in addition to the moisturizing you are already doing. However, I recommend consulting with your doctor if the rash persists.
