@BabyBoecksMom: tried that. It actually looked a bit worse after using it.
also i'm using prescription nystatin for a yeast infection (she also gave me a steroid cream but I've have been hesitant to use that) I have been using the nystatin since last friday. Thats exactly how it started, little red dots! And when she pooped this time its like the same red dots just got SUPER angry again.
I'm headed to the doc tomorrow.. Hopefully I'll have some answers or maybe just be told to ride it out (which I'm ok with doing as long as I'm riding in the right direction!! -
Berries often cause rashes! So maybe try a regular diet but avoid berries and citrus?

Okay I didn't read most of the replies but here are my major points:
- baking soda baths after any runny poops
- diaper free time
- air dry all the way before fresh cream/diaper
- lots of aquaphor! I bought every cream known to target after LOs first bad rash (from runny poops) and Aquaphor was still the best
- if the red is in the creases get OTC lotrimin cream
- use cloth wipes with water instead of baby wipesGood luck!

@Littlebit7: just read one of your updates - if it's really red around the anus maybe have it swabbed for strep butt. It's a thing! Antibiotics would help then if it was strep.

@MenagerieMama: omg strep butt. I have never heard of that but it doesn't sound good. Time to Doctor google.... Eeek! Thanks!

Nystatin never worked for us.
My DD was prone to angry, bleeding rashes any time she was teething.I had the best luck with two things. One being titanium dioxide cream (we lived in the UK and it was readily available, but you can order it on Amazon). The brand is called Metanium. It smells vile. It's bright yellow and can stain.... but it works soooo well. http://www.amazon.com/Metanium-Nappy-Rash-Ointment-30g/dp/B000KUALAY
The other was homemade oil based stuff. I bought from this lady and we still have jars hanging around that we use on dry skin and such. Vanilla Cake smells amazing. https://www.etsy.com/shop/PattycakesBalms

@loveisstrange: thank you! Will look those up. @MenagerieMama: thank you!
Thank you to all! I'm sure some of you seasoned mom HBers are like pssshhht FTM with a first rash! Ha! Which is probably true. And this is totally low on the Things That Really Suck list. But your replies have been super helpful. It's distressing when there are/could be a zillion things causing something and a zillion things that could be used to fix it! So hit or miss and frustrating to find the right one that works!!
