Hi Thanks for posting your query. Features described are suggestive of diaper rash or inflammation of the skin. It is commonly linked to use of a new diaper, continuously wet or infrequently changed diapers (irritation from stool and urine), infection by bacteria or fungi (yeasts) It may also develop after solid foods are added to your baby s diet, when breast-feeding mothers eat certain foods or when your baby is taking antibiotics. The best treatment for diaper rash is to keep your baby s skin as clean and dry as possible. These simple suggestions may help: Let your child go without a diaper for short periods of time, such as during naps. Avoid using plastic or tight fitting diaper covers. Use larger than usual sized diapers until the rash goes away. If your baby s diaper rash persists during home treatment, the following treatment is offered by the doctor. A mild hydrocortisone cream (strong steroids or frequent use can lead to additional problems) An antifungal cream, if your baby has a fungal infection Topical or oral antibiotics, if your baby has a bacterial infection Diaper rashes usually require several days to improve. The following preventive measures are useful: Change diapers often. Rinse your baby s bottom with water as part of each diaper change. You can use a sink, tub or water bottle for this purpose. Moist washcloths and cotton balls also can aid in cleaning the skin. Don t use wipes that contain alcohol or fragrance. Pat your baby dry with a clean towel. Don t scrub your baby s bottom. Don t overtighten diapers which prevent airflow into the diaper region, Give your baby s bottom more time without a diaper. When possible, let your baby go without a diaper. . Wash cloth diapers carefully. Pre-soak heavily soiled cloth diapers and use hot water to wash them. Consider using ointment regularly, Petroleum jelly and zinc oxide are effective in controlling diaper rash. After changing diapers, wash your hands which can prevent the spread of bacteria or yeast to other parts of your baby s body, to you or to others. Hope these suggestions could be of great help in getting the treatment as well as prevention of diaper rash. Regards.
