Causes of Diaper Rash Why does my baby get diaper rash Clad in a nappy, a baby’s bottom is susceptible to nappy rash. The skin is exposed to a high level of moisture, little air, a host of chemical irritants and infectious organisms present in the urine and the faeces, and friction caused by the rubbing of the nappy. The skin first gets irritated by
the chronic moisture and is further weakened by the friction caused by
the chafing of the nappy. Irritating substances and infectious organisms
in the stools and urine facilitate the development of the rash. Aggressive
and frequent cleaning of the nappy area using detergents, tight nappies,
rubber bands, and the ammonia in the urine can aggravate the condition.
My baby has a recurring case of nappy rash Some babies have a recurrent condition of diaper rash. This may be because they have an inborn susceptibility, allergic tendencies, high levels of ammonia in their urine, or a pH imbalance in their stool. It may also be the case that once the skin has become irritated, it becomes more susceptible to a second attack. To add your views on this article or read others comments Click Here
