Why does your baby get nappy rash? Most babies will get this at some stage - it is not a disease but a irritation of the baby's skin. The most common cause is due to a wet or dirty nappy that touches the baby's skin for longer than it should. This can occur more frequently if the baby has diarrhoea. Nappy rash can also be caused by a fungal infection caused by dampness under the nappy. It is absolutely normal to have fungi on your skin, however it only grows when conditions are conducive. It is not attributable to bad hygiene but it can be caused by dampness or changes in skin conditions. This can be particularly unpleasant for a baby as it can actually sting their skin. An ordinary nappy rash is very red and will not usually affect the baby's health. The baby generally feels well but will feel a stinging when they're wet, or dirty themselves. The redness does not reach into the folds of the skin and if the baby's bottom is given some air the rash disappears a few days if nappies are changed frequently and natural products are used to protect the baby's skin. A fungal infection is bright red. Check if the baby is red in the folds of the skin as well. The fungus can grow there too, and there may be other spots on the buttocks. Your baby will get upset and cry when you change their nappy. How can you avoid nappy rash in your baby? Some babies only experience it once in a while, whereas others experience it time and again. No one knows the reason for these differences in the skin, but some babies just seem more sensitive than others. How do you treat nappy rash?
