How to Identify Nappy Rash?

E203 1

Nappy rash is a common issue for every baby. It is important that parents are able to identify nappy rash before it is too late. Symptoms include:

  • Redness
  • Flaking or scaling skin
  • Swelling or edema
  • Increased sensitivity
  • Temperature increases (feeling warm)
  • Chafing which due to repetitive friction of diaper
  • Dry raised bumps (papules) or fluid-filled bumps (pustules)
  • Symptoms are found mostly at areas in direct contact with nappy
  • Other body parts may also be affected due to inflammation

The severity of nappy rash usually depends on the areas affected. A mild condition only affects a small area of the bottom but a severe situation can affect the whole bottom with the symptoms mentioned above.

Yeast infections may also occur when the skin is damaged. This makes it important to treat the condition as early as possible. 

Spray 8 is all-natural anti-fungal and anti-inflammation, making it a great solution to reducing symptoms and discomfort caused by nappy rash. Spray 8 also gives a painless, safe result, while the rapid dry formulation will not cause any discomfort when used even on your baby.

The best way to prevent nappy rash is by selecting an appropriate diaper and changing the diaper frequently.

 

To differentiate between normal nappy rash and yeast-infected nappy rash, a normal nappy rash will appear in very red but not bright red color. Baby will not feel pain with a normal rash and the redness will not reach into skin folds. But for a yeast-infected nappy rash, it is bright red in colour and the redness able to reach the skin folds. Baby will also start to cry his/her nappy area is touched.
