Hi.
As per your case history of diaper rash.
My treatment advice is -
1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily.
2. It is completely safe to take benadryl. So continue it in prescribed dose.
3. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on affected skin.
If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
Thanks.
