Go to the drugstore to the wound care section and you will find Betadyne 10% povidone iodine. They will likely also have their store brand of the same - get that as it is a couple $ less than the name and is the same stuff. Put 20-25 drops of it (the top has a dropper) in 1/4 cup water, warm it slightly in the microwave so it isn't cold, and using a cotton ball or similar and gently dab the entire area until you have wet down everywhere you see the bumps, then put baby someplace nice and warm and just let it dry on her skin. It doesn't sting at all so you won't be hurting her. It is very effective - kills bacteria, fungus, viruses - everything. I would apply it at least twice a day. It should clear up in a few days. The only side effect will be an orange tummy (for a few days she can pretend she is a foxer!)
