What is diaper rash?

Diaper rash is a common skin condition that happens when the skin under or around the diaper (including buttocks, genitals, or thighs) becomes red, sore, or irritated. Common causes include skin contact with wet diapers, the diaper rubbing against the skin, ingredients in products used in the diaper area, and contact with urine (pee) and stool (poop). In some cases, this rash can be a result of an infection, most commonly caused by yeast.

An overview of diaper rash

With frequent diaper changes, air drying, and protective ointments, most diaper rashes can be prevented or quickly treated. Mild cases of diaper rash usually go away within a few days with simple home treatment. If the diaper rash is severe or doesn’t improve with home care, your provider may recommend additional treatment based on the cause of the rash.
Diaper rash symptoms might include:
• Redness
• Soreness
• Bumps, blisters, or pimples
• Peeling or scaly skin
• Swelling

What causes diaper rash?
Diaper rashes can be caused by a variety of things. When a dirty diaper is worn for too long, the skin can get irritated from being in contact with urine (pee) and stool (poop). Tight diapers or clothing that rub against the skin can also cause a rash. Sometimes, bacteria or yeast can grow in the warm, moist area under the diaper and cause an infection. Some children have more sensitive skin that can easily get irritated, especially when exposed to certain ingredients in diapers, wipes, or detergents.
What increases my child’s risk for diaper rash?
Diaper rash can happen to any child. Children who may be more at risk for developing diaper rash include those who pass stool (poop) frequently, are taking antibiotics, have infrequent diaper changes, have recently had a change in diet, or are formula-fed.
Is diaper rash contagious?
No, diaper rash itself isn’t contagious. However, if the diaper rash is caused by a bacterial or yeast infection, those infections can potentially spread. Washing your hands thoroughly after changing diapers can help prevent the spread of any infections.
At what age is diaper rash most common?
Diaper rashes can start showing up at around 3-12 weeks of age and are most common between the ages of 9-12 months. At this age, babies start exploring a variety of solid foods, which may make their stool (poop) more irritating to their skin. They’re also much more mobile at this age, and moving around can lead to the diaper against their skin more often.
How is diaper rash diagnosed?
Your provider can diagnose diaper rash by taking a look at the rash and by asking some questions about your child’s diapering routine, recent changes in skin products or diet, new medications, and any other new or recent symptoms. Additional testing or referrals are usually not needed but might be considered if a rash is severe or hasn’t improved after trying the usual treatment.
How can I treat my child’s diaper rash at home?
Keeping your child’s diaper area clean and dry is an important step in treating the rash and easing their discomfort. Change your child’s diapers frequently and gently clean with mild soap and water. Consider using damp paper towels or a washcloth rather than baby wipes, which may irritate the skin. Baking soda baths can also be soothing for diaper rashes. Simply add 2-4 tablespoons of baking soda to warm bath water and soak your child’s diaper area for 10 minutes once or twice a day. Pat the skin dry gently or, when you can, allow the skin to air-dry after bathing and diaper changes. To protect and heal the skin, be sure to apply a thick layer of a barrier cream, ointment, or paste with every diaper change. This protects the skin and helps promote healing. Some popular options include Desitin, Triple Paste, Boudreaux’s Butt Paste, and A+D.
What type of diapers should I be using?
Diaper rashes can happen with any brand of diaper. Cloth diapers are generally less absorbent than most disposable brands and can trap moisture against the skin. If you’re using cloth diapers, consider switching to disposable diapers until the rash heals. No matter which type of diaper you use, make sure that it fits snugly but isn’t too tight, especially during overnight use.
What products should I avoid using in the diaper area?
Avoid powders like cornstarch or talcum powder and products that contain fragrances, preservatives, and other ingredients that can cause irritation, such as boric acid, camphor, phenol, benzocaine, or salicylic acid. Unless a product is recommended by your child’s provider, it’s best to avoid over-the-counter antibacterial ointments or creams, such as neomycin, as they can sometimes cause allergic skin reactions.
