hi..
what u have described sound more like a yeast infection or diaper rash. the reason baby must be in discomfort is because of the itching sensation or pain.

watch for cry during urination or loose stools . these are some symptoms of an ongoing infection in a baby .
for now zinc oxide ointment local application or even a topical antifungal will help relieve the inflammation.
hope this helps.
I find this answer helpful
