4 Tips for Diaper Rash Treatment
Diaper rash, also known as diaper dermatitis, is a common skin irritation in babies. It affects approximately 35 percent of children under the age of three. There are many factors behind diaper rash, but the most common reason is prolonged skin contact with feces and urine. Your baby’s skin is sensitive and easily susceptible to irritation, dryness, and rashes.
As a parent, seeing diaper rash on your baby’s delicate skin is startling. You don’t like seeing your baby uncomfortable, and all you want to do is to wave a magic wand and make it all go away.
There may not be magic wands, but using Nature‘s Baby products that are formulated for sensitive and rash-prone skin are perfect for diaper rashes and other skin issues like eczema etc. It’s important that you use minimally processed products that are catered to skin with sensitivity issues.
You don’t have to worry! Here are some tips for diaper rash treatment.
Keep Your Baby Clean and Dry
A good method to prevent diaper rash is to keep your baby's bottom dry and clean. This also helps quicken the healing process.
When you clean the diaper area, it’s crucial that you are gentle and avoid wipes that contain alcohol. Use a soft cloth or use water to wipe the baby's bottom. Make sure to use products that are formulated for a baby’s sensitive skin. Pat the area dry, don’t scrub at all!
Moreover, ensure that the diaper isn’t wrapped too tightly, or it could lead to rashes.
Often Change Diapers
When your baby has a rash, it’s important that you change diapers instantly when they’re wet or soiled. If you use cloth diapers, rinse them multiple times to ensure that detergent has been washed out completely. This is because some babies’ skin can be sensitive to detergents and fragrances.
Keep it Airy
To heal the diaper rash, increase air exposure to the area. It’s good that you let your baby out of the diaper for short periods of time.
Apply Lotions and Ointments
A soothing skin ointment would give your baby comfort and develop healthy, smooth skin. Calendula Oil is remarkable for its soothing effects. It’s extracted from Marigold Flowers. Calendula Extract is anti-fungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory. It’s proven to relieve diaper rash, but also, soothes Eczema and wounds. It can be used to treat Psoriasis and Dermatitis. This is why ointments containing Calendula Extract can help prevent and treat your baby’s diaper rash.
