Diaper diagnosis refers to a rash that occurs in the area covered by the diaper. The first sign of diaper rash is usually redness or small bumps in the midline of the lower abdomen, buttocks, genitals, and thigh skin wrinkles. The surface of these parts is in direct contact with wet or absorbent diapers. Diaper rash is not serious and will disappear in 3 to 4 days with proper care.
The most common causes of diaper rash include:
1. Do not change the diaper soaked with urine for a long time: moisture makes the skin easy to abrasion; when the time is long, the urine in the diaper decomposes to form chemicals that can further damage the skin.
2. Do not change the diaper soaked for a long time: the digestive agent in the feces can invade the skin and make the skin rash.
No matter how the rash comes out, once the skin surface is damaged, it is easily irritated further when it comes into contact with feces and urine. Yeast infections are another cause of rashes in this area. These rashes are common in the thighs, genitals, and lower abdomen, and are rarely found in the buttocks. However, most children develop rashes in some areas during infancy, and breastfeeding babies are rare (the reason is not clear). Diaper rashes often occur at specific times or under specific conditions:
8 to 10 months baby;
Inability to keep children clean and dry; frequent bowel movements (especially when stool is left on diapers overnight); starting to eat solid foods (possibly due to eating more acidic substances, or changes in digestive agents caused by different foods); taking antibiotics (such Medications can promote the growth of yeast that infects the skin).
To reduce the risk of diaper rash, follow these guidelines when using diapers:
1. Change the diaper as quickly as possible after defecation. After each defecation, clean the diaper area with a soft cloth and water.
2. Change diapers frequently to reduce skin contact with moisture.
3 Whenever possible, keep your child in contact with the air.
If you do your best and your skin remains dry and diaper rash still occurs, you may need to use lotions and extracts; if it is eczema, apply dry cleaning night; diaper rash should be able to improve significantly within 48 ~ 72 hours .
