Are you worried that maybe youre childs diaper could be giving them a rash? Do you think maybe youre using the wrong diapers or that youre the cause of the reason their getting the rash? Every baby will at some point develop a diaper rash. Its a normal part of being a baby. A diaper rash is a skin problem that happens in the area underneath an infants diaper, which makes it very uncomfortable and irritating for youre baby.
Diaper Rash is a common form of inflamed skin (diaper dermatitis) that will look like patches of bright red skin on your babys bottom area. While diaper rash is normally thought to only affect infants and toddlers, but any individual wearing a diaper is prone to develop this dermatitis. Diaper dermatitis in the United States, symbolizes about 10%-20% of all skin disorders. The rash could develop as early as the first week of life, the most common time period is between 4 and 15 months of age. Its been shown that, at any point in time, theres a range between 7%-35% of children in this range of age is experiencing this skin rash.
The causes of this diaper rash, well theres actually several causes for this dermatitis. Contact diaper rash is simply a regular rash that appears flat, red, irritated skin. Intertrigo is a specific rash that happens within the skin folds and creases around the diaper area where the skin rubs together this normally appears red, burn-like appearance. Yeast rash is when the skins damaged; this happens more when antibiotics are used or the rash is prolonged, the appearance is red, raised, and patchy with sharp borders. Impetigo (staph and strep) is when bacteria invades the damaged skin, it appears as a coin-sized blisters or red raised patches that ooze a brown-yellowish colored crust. Allergy Ring is from a variety of foods that can irritate the babys bottom, especially acidic foods; it appears as a red ring around the babys anus. All of these are ways youre baby could be getting diaper rash.
Babies have very sensitive thin skin, adding the chemicals and moisture from urine and stools, then covering this area with a diaper thats rubbing back and forth, would then cause to create a diaper rash.
