Diaper Rash

If your baby's diaper area is red and painful-looking, they probably have a diaper rash. Diaper rash is a very common skin condition that babies, with their notoriously soft skin, are likely to experience.

In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics estimates that 25% of infants and toddlers may be suffering from it at any given time. The good news is that it's totally treatable and quick to go away with the right care!

Diaper rash will cause red, irritated, sometimes bumpy skin in the diaper area. The skin may even feel warm to the touch. All of this is normal.

However, signs of a more serious case of diaper rash include blisters or sores, pus, bleeding, cracked skin, or a fever. If your baby experiences these symptoms, take them to their doctor for treatment.

There are several possible causes of diaper rash. These include:

• Dirty diapers
• Too much moisture in the diaper area
• Chafing
• Dietary changes
• Skin sensitivities
• Bacteria
• Yeast infection

If you can identify what's causing the condition, treating it is pretty straightforward.

The good news is that diaper rash is pretty easy to treat. It all comes down to good changing and bathing habits and high-quality, natural products. Here are some steps to follow so that baby is diaper rash-free in no time:

• Change your baby's diaper often.
• Skip the baby powder, and let them go au naturale.
• Clean your baby's diaper area carefully and regularly, but don't bathe them too often.
• Try Mustela's No-Rinse Cleansing Water to help keep their diaper area clean.
• Pat (don't rub) your little one's skin dry after bathing.
• Moisturize with specially formulated lotions and creams.
• If skin is extra sensitive, use Cicastela Moisture Recovery Cream on the area twice a day.

If you follow these steps, your little one's diaper rash should clear up quickly.
