My great-grandmother used burnt flour. Makes a mess of the pan, but it cleared up the diaper rash.

Tripple paste and if he is in disposables, get the kind with little to no gel as that can cause a reaction too. If in cloth, strip them and change your detergent.

No Desitin, as I have been told by a pediatrcian that it can trap irritants against the skin. I'd suggest Aquaphor.

Coconut oil is awesome - however ask the parents and have Benadryl on hand, my sister used it on my nephew and it triggered an allergic reaction.

Another vote for coconut oil and if he's in cloth diapers, switch to disposables for a couple of weeks to let it heal completely.

Coconut oil works like a charm. Also just let him spend some time each day without a diaper on (put him on a towel), sometimes they just need to breathe!

Are you using ointment? I would use Triple Paste and change his diaper more frequently than usual.
I also wouldn't use a wipe if its just a wet diaper.

My charge (6mo) had a bad diaper rash, which we determined was an allergy and got rid of the wipes that were causing it. However, he still has just a little bit of the rash left, and we can't quite get rid of it. Ideas?
