Has anyone used either of these and if so where did you get it or is there anything else that anyone has used or do you think I should just go to the doctor?

I wouldn't use creams etc because you're leaving it moist and open to infection then, keep up with the caldesene powder, but make sure you blow off any excess so it doesn't form a paste, you just need a thin dusting.

Coconut oil is great for skin rashes. You can get it in most supermarkets.
