For 1 month, I have been applying CeraVe cream every 2 hours, and one month ago, I used hydrocortisone. There has been no improvement. What should I do?

It is recommended to continue applying the Cerave cream frequently throughout the day. If the hydrocortisone cream has not been effective, you may want to try using hydrocortisone 1% ointment, available over-the-counter. Apply it twice a day for 10 days, then once a day for another 10 days. If your child is wearing a bib, it may be causing friction and worsening the irritation, so taking a break from bibs for a few days could help. Pay attention to how the rash looks in the morning to see if saliva contact is the main issue.
