Diaper Rash - An Irritant For Babies
Kevin Pederson
Diapers as a whole are very good products and could be termed in some manner as a boon for all parents. However, this boon can boomerang any moment making it one of the worst nightmares for all parents. Diaper rash is one of the common skin disorders that your child has to go through. As the baby's skin is very soft and delicate it can easily be damaged by the constant use of diapers. Once you start solid food, diaper rash becomes more common, leading to rashes which create graver problems for your children. The first 12 months can be a testing period for parents as well as babies.
The dominating factor for diaper rash is skin wetness. Areas which are already damaged tend to be more sensitive for other skin related problems. It is a kind of chain reaction as and when the skin gets affected due to urinary wetness which later on affects the stool enzymes or other irritants leading to inflammation of the skin. This rash becomes an open passage for bacteria and other organisms causing further damage to your child’s skin. Common sufferers of diaper rash are between 8 to 10 months old.
Some of the common diaper rashes are
-Friction Rash
-Irritant Rash
-Allergic Rash
-Intertrigo Rash
-Seborrhea Rash
