Answer

Make sure your pads are unscented. Change them often. Try to get as clean and dry as possible every time you use the bathroom. Pat instead of wipe. I'd consult with your doc before putting any products on the area to make sure you aren't going to irritate it further or cause infection. They also might want to check it out.

Answer

If your nursing try breast milk.

Answer

Yeah sounds like a diaper rash. 
Change your pad as much as possible to keep the area dry. Clean often as well. (Use the water pray bottle you are sent home with). And yeah you can apply diaper cream but keep in mind if you have any stitches down below or a painful vagina from delivery then you have to wash that area well bc of the cream and it could hurt.
