Never let the plastic cloth or oilcloth directly contact the skin. Then you can use the baby wet red diaper cream, which is very effective.

Choose soft cotton cloth as diapers, which are more absorbent. Wash the buttocks and vulva of children in time after defecation. Wash from front to back, that is, wash the vulva first and then the anus, to prevent urinary tract infection.
