#Diaper Rash

Diaper rash, or diaper dermatitis, is a common inflammatory skin condition that develops in the diaper area. It is characterized by redness, tenderness, scaling, and sometimes papules or vesicles on the skin. While often caused by prolonged wetness, friction, and irritation from urine and feces, it can be complicated by secondary fungal infections, particularly candidiasis. Proper hygiene and barrier creams are crucial for prevention and treatment.
