Diaper rash

Diaper rash is a skin inflammatory lesion that occurs in the area where the diaper is wrapped. It is also called the baby's red hip. External forces or friction can cause damage. Continuing development will lead to exudate, shedding of the epidermis, and superficial ulcers. If not treated in time, it will develop into deeper ulcers and even bedsores. Diaper rash mostly occurs in infants under one year of age, and is usually most severe at 7-9 months. Because the number of foods that infants begin to eat during this period gradually increases, the excretion of urination on the buttock skin increases, especially when diarrhea or excretion is left in diapers overnight, and antibiotics are used by infants or nursing mothers.
