Diaper Rash

Diaper rash is a common form of inflamed skin (dermatitis) that appears as red patches on your baby’s bottom. Diaper rash is often related to wet or infrequently changed diapers, skin sensitivity, and chafing. It usually affects babies, though anyone who wears a diaper regularly can develop the condition. Prolonged exposure to urine or stool can irritate a baby’s sensitive skin. Other than that, bleaching agents in diapers, tight-fitting diapers or clothing that rubs against the skin can also lead to a rash.

Recommendations:

• Prevent diaper rash by keeping the diaper area clean and dry.
• Apply diaper cream during each diaper change to prevent skin irritation.
• Ensure your baby’s natural skin protective barrier is strengthened with a soap-free cleanser and a mildly acidic pH5.5 diaper cream.
• Titanium dioxide ingredient in diaper cream is compatible with baby’s healthy skin pH unlike zinc oxide.
