OPEN diaper rash - help??

Ja

Moms I need advice. I’m waiting for pediatrician to call back but my son has an open diaper rash. I’ve bathed him daily, keeping him clean but not wiping only gently dabbing and flushing the affected area, constantly putting the zinc oxide cream on, but this morning the rash is not just red, it’s open skin :(. What have you used successfully??? I read zinc oxide is not supposed to go on open skin so I just put aquaphor on. Any recommendations PLEASE help babymy pediatrician is super busy and my baby is in pain 😢
