What's the best nappy rash cream? What are the different types of nappy rash? Find out at Mother&Baby.
If the skin on your tot’s bum looks dry, itchy or scaly, then an emollient will help to get her skin back into a state where it can deal with the onslaught of all the poo and wee. They soothe, smooth and hydrate the skin, but their effects are short-lived so you’ll need to reapply frequently.Antibacterial creams contain bacteria-killing antibiotics, so if that nappy rash is starting to look a little worse, then apply twice a day until the rash resolves.
Most babies will get nappy rash at some point. If your baby has diarrhoea, this may cause nappy rash, while poos and wees after very acidic foods like fruit can also inflame skin. Sometimes the rash can be caused by a yeast called candida, which thrives in moist, warm areas like the nappy. ‘It can also be triggered by an allergy to the chemicals in disposable nappies, such as sodium polyacrylate, which is the absorbent gel, or the fabric conditioners used to wash reusable ones, so try different types and brands,’ says Anne.Oats are full of antioxidants that soothe skin irritation and inflammation. To make a fast oat soak for your tot, blitz 100g oats into a fine powder.
