YES
I massage coconut oil to my babies bottom to prevent rash, I've rarely used diaper rash cream and my child has not had rash.

First clean and dry the skin. Put a thin layer of coconut oil on the red or affected area, and also the surrounding skin. Use as little oil as possible - but cover the area completely. Remember that the oil is healing, but a thick layer will stop the skin from breathing. Keep it dry, uncovered if that is possible, and even a little gentle sunlight in the early morning or late afternoon
