How to help ease Hand foot and mouth

Hi all. My DS has HFMD and he has some nasty blisters on his bum. More particularly around his rectum.
I've put metanium on his nappy rash but he cried bless him, so it must sting.
Anything else I can pop on his bum blisters to ease them a little? I know I can't get rid of them but just something to help ease the discomfort.
They only appeared today so I dread to think how he is going to be when he has a poo in his nappy tomorrow. Poor dude ☹️
He's already had HFMD 6 weeks ago and now he's got it again!! 😭 last time he didn't have blisters on his bum so this one is new to me!
Calamine lotion perhaps? Always worked a treat with chicken pox blisters when I was a kid. Thoughts? Ideas? Help! X
