Regarding hemmorhoids, hemmorhoid ointment seems to work
Regarding treating diaper rash - I've found many of those creams make a bigger mess but if I recall, Desitin as mentioned above worked pretty well.
But my biggest success in preventing diaper rash has been what many will think is an unusual preventative for a bed confined person. You can run this by the doctor first if you plan to try it: I use a hair dryer on the cool setting (be careful b/c some dryers don't have a cool setting. NEVER USE HOT to dry off the general area. If you query this on the internet you will find some people are even recommending use of hair dryers on babies. Of course, only use this if your person agrees you can do it. I honestly believe if this method was required use in nursing homes and there were portable dryers manufactured with only the proper setting there would be fewer bed sores, b/c in any nursing home I observed, they use one hand sized towel to dry the person off which is not enough and they also soak them in bed when giving bed baths and they are never dried properly.
