Diaper Rash Tips and Treatment
"What is a diaper rash?", is a very common question from new parents. A diaper rash is one of the most common skin problems found in babies. It is caused by the wetness that is trapped in the diaper next to the babies skin and is easy to identify. The baby's skin will look red and blotchy, sometimes appearing to be small bumps or blisters in severe cases. It also may appear warm to the touch and be irritating for the baby to experience.
To avoid diaper rash, change your baby's diaper frequently and avoid prolonged contact to soiled diapers. If your baby is still experiencing rash symptoms, you may also explore a change in formula, teething, antibiotics, soap, lack of air circulation, chemical and dye allergies, and even a change in diet such as changing to solid foods, as these are all causes of diaper rash. Diaper rashes are generally easy to treat and can be prevented with the regular use of a diaper rash ointment.
How to treat a diaper rash:
- Treat at the first sign of redness
- Immediately clean the skin gently but thoroughly
- Allow the diaper area to dry
- Apply an effective diaper rash ointment to from a protective barrier
- Repeat at each diaper change
- Check your baby's diaper frequently especially after every feeding and change as soon as possible when soiled or wet
Help prevent your baby from getting a diaper rash by clean bottoms, fresh diapers and using a preventive diaper rash ointment.
