Try some breast milk!

keep clean and dry as much as possible and put cornstarch, you just really have to baby it until it goes away-you may need a prescription if you arent able to sooth it at home

I would avoid Vaseline or moisturizers as this is macerated skin. Vaseline locks moisture in. Keep the area clean, and most importantly as dry as possible. As a peds nurse, we place clean 4x4 gauze in the folds and creases to keep dry.

Sudocream. Regular cleaning and dry. Might need prescription cream for fungi.

Corn starch?? Is it from moisture??

I’ve seen this on babies if their necks and rolls of skin on their bodies are not dried off thoroughly after baths. I have to lift my baby’s neck all the way up and dry it very good. That also goes for between the thighs, behind the legs, any place with excess skin and rolls. It will turn into a yeast infection if left wet or even a little wet.

Get your baby to the doctors they’ll probably put some antibiotic ointment, and keep area dry -cornstarch & bath with breast milk
