For home treatment try any diaper rash cream or ointment containing ZINC OXIDE.
Desitin
Balmex
Boudreaux's Butt Paste
A&D Diaper Rash Cream
Keep the area as dry as possible, changing more frequently and allowing the baby's bottom to air out as much as possible. Also the response about using the hairdryer is spot on based on an article I read a few years back. Aiming a hair dryer (set on cool) for 10-15 mins a day helps to speed the healing process.

Also make sure the baby gets a lot of time with their diaper off so the area can get some air.
You might give a call to the pediatrician about how severe it is they might prescribe something stronger than you can get over the counter.

The best thing is to let that bottom get some air. Remove the diaper completely. Wearing a diaper of any sorts is just going to make it worst. Like the others said you need a cream to protect the bottom from wetness, when the diaper must be worn or during sleep. Avoid using a wet wipe that has perfume or any thing in it.. this is going to set the baby on fire. Keep the area as dry as possible. When you have to clean the bottom, clean with water or soothing aloe/Shea butter baby wipes... don't allow to set wet. You can blow dry their bottom off with a cool setting blow dryer... test before using.. the hot can burn.
I know the best remedy is to allow the baby to run wild in the buff. Diapers are just going to make it worst! Keep an eye out for when the baby will need to potty.
