Diaper dermatitis is common in infants between 4 and 15 months of age, and it is possible that it occurs more when babies start eating solid foods. It is caused by an infection of a yeast or fungus called candida, very common in children. Candida proliferates better in hot, humid places, like in a diaper. A fungal diaper dermatitis is more likely to occur in babies than:

• They are not kept clean and dry.
• They are receiving antibiotics, or whose mothers are taking antibiotics while breastfeeding.
• They have more frequent stools.

Other causes of diaper dermatitis include:

• Stool acids (most frequently observed when the child has diarrhea),
• ammonia (a chemical produced when bacteria break down the urine),
• diapers that are too tight that irritate the skin,
• reactions to soaps and other products used to wash cloth diapers.

You may notice the following symptoms in the area of ​​your child’s diaper:

• Bright red rash or bud that grows bigger;
• discamative areas of very red color in the scrotum and the penis in the children;
• flaky or red areas on the lips and vagina in girls;
• grains, blisters, ulcers, large protrusions or pus-filled sores;
• Smaller red patches (called satellite lesions) that grow and mingle with other patches.

Keep in mind that larger babies can scratch when the diaper is removed.
