Here are 4 important things you should know about diaper rash.
1. It can be caused by leaving a wet or soiled diaper on too long. The moisture can result in chafed skin. The urine absorbed by the diaper eventually decomposes and forms chemicals that can irritate baby's skin.
2. It can occur when baby starts to eat solid food, due to changes in the digestive process and the introduction of acidic foods.
3. It can be prevented by changing the diaper as soon as possible after a bowel movement. Change wet diaper frequently. Expose baby's diaper area regularly.
4. A rash usually improves within 48 to 72 hours. It can be treated using a diaper ointment. If it doesn't improve within this time, consult your physician.
