Hi.
As per your case history of diaper rash, my treatment advice is -
1. Don't worry, sometimes blood can be seen due to excessive irritation of skin leading to superficial abrasion.
2. Keep that area dry and clean with plain water 4-5 times a day.
3. Don't apply soap or any antiseptic lotion like Dettol on that part.
4. Just apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it. Apply a barrier cream like Klinoderm-dpr cream every time after change of nappies.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Thanks.
