Nappy Rash
Almost every baby gets nappy rash at least once. The combination of moisture, friction, and irritants makes sensitive baby skin sore. With proper care, it usually heals within days.
Possibili Cause
- 1Prolonged contact with urine and stool
- 2Infrequent nappy changes
- 3Diet changes (solids, new foods)
- 4Fungal infection (Candida) — often after antibiotics
- 5Skin friction from tight nappies
Cosa Puoi Fare
- Change frequently (every 2-3 hours, immediately after bowel movement)
- Let air reach the skin — nappy-free time
- Clean with water only, pat dry instead of rubbing
- Zinc cream as a protective barrier
- For fungal infection: antifungal cream from paediatrician
Quando Andare dal Medico?
- Rash doesn't improve after 3 days of treatment
- Bright red rash with satellite spots (fungal infection)
- Open wounds, blisters, or bleeding areas
- Fever along with the rash
- Rash spreads beyond the nappy area
