What is Diaper Dermatitis?
This condition occurs when the skin covered by diapers becomes itchy and inflamed due to direct contact with urine and other irritants.
Treatment of Diaper Dermatitis
Simple steps involve keeping the area clean and moisturized through frequent diaper changes, rinsing the area before each change, and applying moisturizing creams. If an infection is present, antibiotic or antifungal creams may be prescribed.
