Default Sudden Super Red Bum HELP

Hi,
Yesterday my DS had a nappy on for about an hour, then I went to change him as it was bath time and he had done a poo and his bum was SUPER red. It had been perfectly fine 1 hour before.
I then tried to put him in the bath and he screamed as soon as his bum hit the water and was really upset so we gave him a wipe down outside the bath. I used sudocream and a sposie on him last night, and today I have been using bottom balm, NFT and fitteds without covers to try and heal it.

The only thing that changed was I gave him some oat cereal about 15 min before the nappy change. Everything else was the same-Washing powder, food etc

Could he be allergic to the oats? Would it take effect that quickly?? He may be teething but I wouldn't have thought it would come on so suddenly and so red

I dont think its thrush as its solid red, not spotty. Its like sunburn.

Can anyone offer any suggestions as to the cause and treatments??

TIA
Amy
