There are simple and natural ways to treat red and irritated skin in the diaper area. The most interesting diaper rash cure are the following:

Adding two tablespoons of baking soda to the baby's hot bath will help cure diaper rash and reduce the redness associated with this condition. It is not necessary to rub the area; simply leave the baby for 10 minutes in the water and then wipe the area with a soft cloth.
Apple vinegar
Mix a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with half a glass of water and apply it with a towel, giving soft touches to the affected area. Finally, dry the area well before putting on the diaper.
Natural yogurt
Natural yogurt without sugar is a great natural skin moisturizer, so it can help cure diaper rash by applying it as if it were a cream. After each diaper change, place some natural yogurt at room temperature over the affected area and then put the diaper as usual. You can see results in just one
