Where to put diaper cream on baby

Hi mummies, FTM here with a week old baby boy. Where do you exactly put diaper cream on your baby? Is it the whole butt cheeks including butthole ? Do you also put it in between their legs? And diaper creams are all super thick is it normal to put it in patches on baby’s butt like its not even, like its white all over. Do i apply after every diaper change ? And do i remove the previous balance of diaper cream before applying again or just apply over it And why is it hard to wash off the remaining of the diaper cream when giving baby a bath, do i need to use a cloth to rub it ? Im using sudocreme and pureen alternate

According to my nanny, we apply a small amount (one dot then dab) around the testes cracks (skin between testicles and legs as there usually will have friction) and from the bottom of the testicles all the way down to the butt crack. Butt hole area can apply more as it forms a barrier between the poop and the crack. If red then apply more. Yes it is super thick and is normal to be white all over. At first I thought it was excessive until I saw that my baby still had redness. Every diaper change we will use wet cotton ball (cooled boiled water) to clean away the cream and reapply. This applies to pee diapers as well. If poopy diaper we will use wet wipes to clean off majority of poop first then followed by wet cotton ball. The cream usually comes off with wet cotton ball quite easily. We use desitin.
