When it comes to diaper rash, act quickly. Treat it with AVEENO® Baby Soothing Relief Diaper Rash Cream
Diaper rash is a common and often recurring problem that even the most diligent diaper-changing moms frequently face. In fact, 75% of moms report that their baby gets a diaper rash every 6 months, and of those babies, over half get a diaper rash at least once a month. Diaper rash is a common form of inflamed skin (dermatitis).
Since diapers tend to create a moist, humid environment close to your baby's skin, it's extremely easy for this rash to develop.
A typical diaper rash lasts a few days. If the rash is not responding to treatment within 5-7 days or becomes worse, stop use and contact your doctor.
Keeping the diaper area clean and protecting the skin from diaper wetness and soils is the best way to protect against diaper rash.
A suggested routine for any diaper-changing machine:
- Wipe area gently and thoroughly.
- Let area air dry if possible.
- Generously apply a diaper rash cream containing zinc oxide to serve as a soothing, protective coating.
- Change your baby's diaper more frequently.
- Choose fragrance-free baby products whenever possible, ideally use cotton diapers.
- Avoid snug, tight fitting diapers and clothing as this causes friction in the diaper area.
- Watch for reactions to soaps, baby wipes, lotions, creams and ointments.
