Nappy Rash Creams

Babies often experience breakouts or rashes around the diaper area. Nappy rash is a common condition that is caused by prolonged exposure of the skin to wetness and friction from a diaper or nappy. This can lead to inflammation, redness, and soreness in the affected area, usually in the diaper region. To prevent nappy rash, it's important to change your baby's diaper frequently and keep the skin clean and dry.

Causes Of Nappy Rash

Nappy rash, or diaper rash affects babies and young children. It is caused by:

• Prolonged exposure to moisture and irritants, such as urine and faeces
• Tight-fitting diapers
• Chafing
• Bacterial or fungal infections
• Allergic reactions to certain materials

How To Treat Nappy Rash

Child specialists generally advise remedies like diaper rash cream, which reduces and prevents skin irritation in babies caused by wearing diapers. The nappy cream contains ingredients like zinc oxide or petroleum jelly that’s form a protective layer between the baby's tender skin and the friction caused by the diaper, which can cause rashes. In severe cases, medicated creams are advised.

Applying a thin layer of the diaper rash cream while changing diapers and allowing the skin to air out can help soothe and prevent further irritation. It is important to seek medical advice if the rash persists or becomes severe.
