Make absolutely sure that baby's bottom is absolutely dry before you put any diaper cream on it.
The active ingredient in most decent commercial diaper creams is zinc oxide - maybe try one without it, but I have never found that the ones without are very useful. What we did find very useful was to put a layer of vaseline on the baby's clean dry non-rashy bottom right before bedtime. Like a teflon layer, it keeps the stuff in the diaper away from sensitive skin, and really reduces the need for rash cream.
If your baby is still sensitive to the new rash cream, try taking the diaper off completely and letting it bare bottom for a couple few days and the rash should clear up.
