Severe Diaper Rash - 18 Month Old Boy

My son has a severe diaper rash. He is 18 months old. It seems to get worse every day for over a week now. His skin is bleeding in several places. I have put diaper rash ointment (Bourdaux's) on at every changing since this started. I change his diaper (Huggies) frequently - almost once an hour and immediately when dirty.

This started over Thanksgiving and it just doesn't seem to be getting better. I've switched to Butt Paste, also tried Corn Starch. I also let him run around every night with no diaper on for...

Two Questions: Topics Include Quitting Breastfeeding and Really Bad Diaper Rash

Question 1: Unfortunately, I have come to the decision to quit breastfeeding. My supply started off on the lower side on the scale and then over the past 2 weeks I have had to be away from my son for long periods of time at places I have not been able to use a pump, so my supply has lowered to the point where I have to feed him on both sides (When he would only feed on one side before and be happy) and still have to make him a small bottle of formula. When I return to my second job next week I will have to continue to go long periods...
