Brief Answer:
You need to keep the area clean and dry.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Nappy rash occurs when the skin is frequently exposed to moisture. In such a case it is very important to keep the area open and dry. I would not prefer Vaseline. Instead, Siloderm Mixi Ointment or any other moisturizing lotion like aloe vera lotion can be used.
The main thing is to keep the area clean and dry.
Hope it helps.
Regards
