Diaper Rash Treatment and prevention of baby Diaper rash is a type of irritant contact dermatitis, which is located in the diaper area in infants and often spares the skin folds beneath the layers. Most infants develop a diaper rash at one time or another: some even go to the hospital with a mild rash. Diaper rash may be more common after solid foods are added to feed your baby or when your baby is taking antibiotics. Other factors that can lead to diaper rash are constantly damp or slightly changed diapers, diarrhea and use of plastic pants to cover a diaper. Diaper rash can occur intermittently, anytime while your child wears diapers.
They are more common in babies during their first 15 months, especially between 8 and 10 months of age. Diaper rash is characterized by red, swollen and the skin may be slightly warmer in the buttocks region, buttocks, thighs and genitals. Diaper rash is most common between 8 and 10 months. They also frequently occur when babies are taking antibiotics, having loose stools, or have just started solid foods.Most diaper rash is caused by irritation of the skin. Irritation can be caused by diapers that rub against the skin, too tight or left too long. Heat, moisture and irritated skin make it easier for diaper rash to start and for germs to grow.
