Suggest Treatment For Redness Of Buttocks And Rashes On Thigh

My 2 year old had a bath an hour ago and when she came out of it she had a red bottom and a rash on her thighs. I assumed it was due to the bath water maybe being a little warm but 3 hours later it is still visible. Her bottom isn t as red and it is similar to prickly heat. She isn t unwell however when pressing a glass against the rash, it doesn t 100% disappear
