diaper rash

Baby bottom redness

Diaper rash is skin irritation in the area covered by a diaper, caused by prolonged contact with moisture, friction, or waste.

It appears as redness, bumps, or raw patches on a baby's bottom and thighs.

The condition usually clears with frequent diaper changes, air exposure, and barrier creams: The pediatrician recommended zinc oxide for the diaper rash.
