The causes of diaper rash can be traced to a variety of sources, including:
Irritation in the feces and urine. Prolonged exposure to urine or feces can irritate baby's delicate skin. Your child may be more prone to diaper rash if he or she is experiencing frequent bowel movements, because feces are more irritating than urine.
New foods. As children begin to eat solid foods, usually when they are between 4 and 12 months, the content of the stool changes, increasing the likelihood of diaper rash. Changes in children's diets may also increase the frequency of stools, which can lead to diaper rash. If you are breastfeeding, your baby may develop diaper rash in response to something you ate, such as tomato dishes.
The irritation caused by a new product. Wipes, a new brand of disposable diapers, detergent or fabric softener, bleach or fabric used for washing cloth diapers can irritate all your baby's delicate bottom. Other substances that can aggravate the problem of the ingredients found in some baby lotions, powders and oils.
Bacteria or yeast (fungus) infection. What begins as a simple skin infection can spread to areas surrounding. The area covered by a diaper - buttocks, thighs and genitals - are especially vulnerable, because it is hot and humid, making it an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and yeast. These eruptions usually begin with the wrinkles of the skin, and there may be red dots scattered around the wrinkles.
Sensitive skin. Babies 'skin', such as atopic dermatitis or eczema, may be more likely to develop diaper rash. However, the irritated skin with atopic dermatitis and eczema primarily affects the rest of the diaper area.
Rubbing or friction. Tightfitting diapers or clothing rubs against the skin may cause dermatitis.
The use of antibiotics. Antibiotics kill bacteria - good and bad. Without the balance of good bacteria, but fungal infections can occur. This can happen when babies take antibiotics or when mothers who breastfeed their babies take antibiotics.
