She gets changed when she's wet. I use powder or vaseline.
What can I do to get rid of it? It's only been about a week now but has. progressed to being raw. It's not all over but has spreaded some. I have Desitin but was told that made it spread by her babysitter? She's 1 and has never had it before. Should I take her to the doctor? She had an appt. Last week and it wasn't there.

Desitin is going to be miles better than vaseline, that's for sure!
How old is she? Is she teething, by chance?

I've heard of people using corn starch for babies with sensitive skin.
When I was a baby, I had a diaper rash, so my parents laid me out on a blanket in the sun with my bum bare, and the rash went away.

If Vaseline isn't working then definitely try Desitin, or even Lanolin(like what breastfeeding mothers use to prevent sore nipples, it can be found near the bottles/breastpumps in Target or Walmart). Some babies can have a sensitivity to petroleum products, my DD does and her rashes get worse if we use anything that contains it.
We just love California Baby rash cream, or Burt's Bees.

April, cindybode is a nurse, so I'd do what she says.
Cindy, I also had baking soda in my mind, but wasn't sure.

Ah yes, this is wonderful. DO NOT try mixing it with Desitin, which is what our advice nurse told me to use. Cindy's recipe works much better.

Another thing I have found is burnt flour:
Put some flour in a frying pan and keep stirring it on a lower temp until it starts to brown. After it cools sprinkle some of that on. I discovered it with ds3. I tried it on my niece once too and within 1 diaper change there was a big improvement and it was gone in about a day

She just turned 1. Yes she has teeth coming in.
It may be yeast. It's red and it's not all over. The rash started in between her bottom then went away completely within a week. Then it started on the "front" on the top of it now has spread back to in between her bottom. This is the only place it's at and it's red.
I'll try the butt paste and Maalox. Is the lotrimin just over the counter?
Wow, thank you all for the advice. I'll try the butt paste and Maalox first and post later to let you know how it goes.

Yup, it's over the counter athlete's foot cream. You can buy a generic, just make sure the ingredient is lotrimazone.
