diaper dermatitis and diaper eczemaWhat if the child gets worse?

If the diaper rash does not improve within a few days or even worse, check with your pediatrician. If, as we mentioned before, the child’s skin becomes very red, hot and swollen, and the child has a fever, you should see your doctor urgently, as the diaper rash may be caused by a bacterial infection and need medical treatment .

How to establish the differences between diaper dermatitis (differential diagnosis)?

Erythema (redness of the skin) does not reach the folds of the skin and disappears a few days to aerate the area, you should use a steroid cream or soft zinc and change diapers often. If no improvement, it is advisable to consult your pediatrician.

Infection fungal skin appears as a bright red zone and could affect the folds of the groin. The child is very upset and cry when you change his diaper. The measures used above do not usually work, and in this case, it is best to consult directly with the pediatrician.

When bacterial infection is suspected (see above signs and symptoms that lead to), should also consult your pediatrician.
