Baby Skin Infection: Diapers and Diaper Rash

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

Diaper rash is a very common infection that can cause a baby’s skin to become sore, red, scaly, and tender. In most cases, the rash occurs because the skin is irritated by diapers that are too tight, soiled diapers that are left on for too long or certain brands of detergent, diapers, and baby wipes.

Diaper rash usually can be cleared up by checking your baby’s diaper often and changing it as soon as it’s wet or soiled, and by using a zinc oxide cream or ointment to soothe skin and protect it from moisture. When a diaper rash lasts for more than 3 days, even with changes to the diapering routine, it’s usually caused by candida, a yeast-like fungus. This form of the rash is usually red, slightly raised, and has small red dots extending beyond the main part of the rash. It typically starts in the creases of skin and can spread to skin on the front and back of the baby. It usually goes away after treatment with anti-fungal creams, which can be prescribed by your child’s doctor.
