Diaper dermatitis

When babies are just born, they need to use diapers. However, since babies' skin is relatively tender and sensitive than adults', if babies' buttocks are covered with diapers for a long time, it is easy to cause diaper dermatitis. Diaper dermatitis is a skin inflammation in infants and young children. Most of the children suffer from it because their buttocks are in a stuffy environment for a long time, which shows flushing, ulceration and even infection.

If the baby's diapers are not changed in time, the baby's buttocks will be exposed to a hot and humid environment. The baby's skin is not as resistant as that of adults, so it is particularly prone to infection, and symptoms such as flushing and itching will occur.

Diaper dermatitis refers to an inflammatory skin lesion that occurs in the area where diapers are worn, also known as diaper rash or baby rash. Symptoms include redness, rash, and even ulceration and infection of the skin in the area where the buttocks come into contact with the diaper.

The main causes of diaper dermatitis are

① Improper use of diapers: diapers are not washed clean, or there are urine stains and feces irritation in the diapers, or diapers are not changed in time. The feces and urine in the diapers are easily decomposed by parasites and produce various toxins, which irritate the skin and cause inflammation; and the skin of the buttocks is often in a moist or soaked state, which also aggravates the damage to the skin of the buttocks.

② Reasons on the baby's side: The baby's skin is relatively delicate and only 1/10 of the thickness of an adult's skin. It is easily damaged by friction or irritation. In addition, the skin's immune function has not yet fully developed, and its resistance is weak, so it is easy to cause inflammation when stimulated. If it is simple diaper dermatitis (that is, there is no infection), you can apply ointments and baby skin care products such as Weifu Cream. Weifu Cream has isolation, antibacterial and repairing ingredients, so it has a faster effect than baby skin care products.

If a baby develops diaper dermatitis, it must be treated immediately. If it is not treated in time and the disease is allowed to develop, the redness, swelling and itching of the buttocks will worsen. Summer is coming soon. In this season, it is best for parents not to use diapers for babies, which can help prevent diaper dermatitis.
