What is nappy rash?
Nappy rash is a common skin condition that affects babies and toddlers, which can make them feel uncomfortable and distressed. It happens when your baby is wearing a nappy, as their sensitive skin can be irritated by the nappy rubbing against their skin, or if the nappy is not changed often enough. It can also happen if baby’s skin is irritated by soaps, detergents, or alcohol-based baby wipes. Some of the most common symptoms of baby wipes include:
-
Red patches or widespread redness
-
Soreness
-
Skin feels hot to touch
-
Spots or pimples
-
Blisters
