ooh yeah, no nappy wipes. Try using a facewasher with water.
The times when DS had bad nappy rash I laid down all the spare towels I could find on the floor and left his nappy for for 2-3 hours

Very good advice above.
I have found that combining Sigmacort with canesten, that'll treat just about any nappy rash that doesn't involve a bacterial infection (and if it doesn't start getting better after 24 hours with these I'd be going to the dr to check). Both available over the counter, I apply one after the other and with a barrier cream.
I also rinse off DD's bum with lukewarm water (not in the bath, just on the change table) when she's rashy, seems kinder than wipes.
Other things to think about:
Have you fed any new foods/a lot of a particular food lately? Bad nappy rash can be a sign of food intolerance. It could even be something seasonal like summer fruit, kwim?
Have you changed nappies/washing powder/wipes/bath lotion lately? Some brands set some kids off.
Good luck, it's such a horrible thing, poor little tike must be so miserable!

Gosh I was just about to come in here and do this post myself this morning before my trip to the chemist. DS has such bad nappy rash at the moment that he screams blue murder at every nappy change/ every time he wee's etc. My poor little man has done 12 poos today, and with each one it just gets worse (he is teething). The chemist I saw told me to use dermaid (it has cortisone in it) a couple of times a day, and use Nappy Mate paste as a barrier. We dont have broken skin at the moment, so you might need something diff.
I have already decided that if DS's bum is no better by tues I will take him to the Dr. to see if I cant get something else prescribed.
Good luck, I know how heartbreaking it is to see your baby in such agony.

I work in child care and discovered last year that herron zinc and caster oil contains peanuts. We had an anaphalactic child at the time so that was scary! Not sure about the other nappy creams but just thought I would throw that out there incase it's the creams stiring up an allergy. I haven't needed to use it just but also brought paw-paw and weleda nappy creams cause they are natural. Hope your bubs bottom clears up soon.
