Hydrocortisone cream can be used to clear severe diaper rash but never use over the counter hydrocortisone cream without your child's pediatrician approving of the use of the hydrocortisone cream for the diaper rash.
If the hydrocortisone cream is used for diaper rash incorrectly it can make the diaper rash worse or cause other side effects.
A good natural home remedy for clearing up diaper rash is to give your baby or toddler an oatmeal bath. Oatmeal works good for soothing the skin and clearing diaper rash naturally at home.
