| | Diaper Rash: How to ease your baby's discomfort |
| | Although a baby left in a dirty diaper for too long is more likely to develop diaper rash, it can strike the bottom of any baby with particularly sensitive skin, even if his parents are diligent diaper changers. | | | The affected area is red and may be tender or painful, and the rash can creep into the creases of skin around your baby's genitals and legs. | | | If your baby's skin is irritated — by wet diapers, for example — the yeast that normally occurs in his body can get into the cracks in his skin and flourish, causing a rash. |
