It is very common for a small baby to suffer from diaper rash. It does not mean that the child is poorly cared for. However, if diaper rash isn’t treated, it can cause a yeast or bacterial infection, making matters worse. Diaper rash is characterized by inflamed skin and a rash in the diaper area, which includes the upper thighs, buttocks and genital area. The main cause of diaper rash is prolonged exposure to a dirty diaper, either moist with urine or soiled with stool. Other common causes are yeast infections, food allergies, digestive problems, sensitivity to the diaper, and poorly laundered diapers. Symptoms can include red skin, inflammation and even blisters. If your child gets diaper rash, you must give your baby plenty of time with a bare bottom so that the skin can breathe and eliminate moisture on its own. There also are many natural home treatments that you can try to comfort your child and speed up the healing process. Here are the top 10 home remedies for diaper rash. Vinegar Stale urine is extremely alkaline in nature and can burn a baby’s soft skin like an acid. To balance out the high pH, vinegar is one of the best ingredients. - If you are using reusable diapers or cloth diapers, rinse them in a vinegar solution. Add one-half cup of vinegar to half a bucket of water and use it to rinse your baby’s diapers. This will help get rid of any soap buildup in the diapers as well as any urine smell. - Make a very weak vinegar solution by adding one teaspoon of white vinegar to one cup of water. Use this solution to wipe your baby’s bottom when changing the diaper. This simple step will help to make your baby’s bottom resistant to yeast. Baking Soda Baking soda has healing properties that can help treat diaper rash. - Dissolve two tablespoons of baking soda in about four cups of water. Each time you change your baby’s diaper, wash the baby’s bottom with the mixture. Use a dry washcloth to lightly pat the skin dry before putting on a clean diaper. - You can also add two tablespoons of baking soda to a tub of warm water and give your baby a bath in it. Bathe the baby in the water for 10 minutes, three times a day. Again, make sure to pat the baby’s skin dry after bathing. Petroleum Jelly Many pediatricians recommend applying a thin layer of protective coating on the baby’s soft skin every time you change a diaper. Petroleum jelly is perfect for this purpose. It will help protect the diaper area from the irritating effects of urine and feces. - After removing a soiled diaper, clean your baby’s bottom with warm water. - Dry it well with a cotton towel, and then apply petroleum jelly. - Do this every time your baby needs a diaper changed, and the diaper rash will heal quickly. Cornstarch Cornstarch absorbs moisture, making it a great treatment for diaper rash. It will help keep your baby’s skin dry, reduce diaper friction and prevent diaper rash. - Remove the soiled diaper and wash your baby’s bottom with lukewarm water. - Carefully blot the skin dry with another cloth. Allow the skin to further dry naturally for a few moments. - Lightly sprinkle cornstarch directly on the skin before putting a fresh diaper in place. - Do this each time you change a diaper until the skin fully heals. Oatmeal The high amount of protein in oatmeal soothes a baby’s soft skin and helps preserve the skin’s natural protective barrier. It also contains the chemical compound saponin, which helps remove unwanted oils and dirt from the skin pores. - Add one tablespoon of dried oatmeal to bath water. - Let your baby soak in the water for 10 to 15 minutes. - Then bathe your baby in the solution. It will have a soothing effect on the baby’s skin. - Do this twice daily to heal diaper rash. Coconut Oil Coconut oil has antifungal and antimicrobial properties, and hence can be used to treat diaper rash. It can also have a soothing and healing effect on the baby’s soft skin. - Coconut oil works like a great moisturizer. Gently apply some coconut oil on the diaper area several times a day. - You can even add several tablespoons of coconut oil to bath water for added moisturizing. It will help kill yeast like Candida that causes diaper rash, too.

Pelenski osip – uzroci, simptomi i liječenje Pelenski osip je čest oblik upale kože koji se pojavljuje kao svijetle crvene točkice u pelenskom području. Obično je povezan s iritacijom zbog nedovoljno čestog mijenjanja pelena, proljeva i odjeće koja sprječava cirkulaciju zraka. Pelenski osip se također može razviti i nakon uvođenja čvrste hrane u prehranu bebe, zbog prehrane majke dojilje ili kada beba uzima antibiotike. Najčešće se pojavljuje kod dojenčadi tijekom prvih 15 mjeseci, osobito između 9 i 12 mjeseca starosti. Pelenski osip može zabrinuti roditelje i smetati bebi, ali obično se može izliječiti uporabom krema za tu namjenu. Simptomi pelenskog osipa Pelenski osip je obilježen crvenilom i pomalo otečenom kožom u pelenskom području stražnjice, bedara i genitalija. Dijete također može biti osjetljivo na dodir, posebno tijekom mijenjanja pelena ili kupanja. Uzroci pelenskog osipa Pelenski osip može imati nekoliko uzroka, uključujući: - Iritacija iz stolice i urina – dugotrajno izlaganje urinu ili stolici može iritirati bebinu osjetljivu kožu. Vaša beba može biti sklonija pelenskom osipu ako ima česte stolice, jer fekalije iritiraju kožu bebe više nego urin. - Uvođenje čvrste hrane – kada djeca počnu jesti krutu hranu, sadržaj njihove stolice se promijeni, što može ovećati učestalost stolice, a time i rizik od pelenskog osipa. Ako dojite vašu bebu, pelenski osip se može javiti kao reakcija na ono što majka jede. - Iritacija zbog novog proizvoda – kod mijenjanja jednokratnih maramica, pelena, sredstva za pranje odjeće, omekšivača i sl. može se javiti pelenski osip kao rezultat iritacije. Ostale tvari koje mogu izazvati osip uključuju sastojke bebinog losiona, pudera ili ulja. - Bakterije ili gljivična infekcija – ono što počinje kao obična infekcija kože, može se proširiti na okolne regije. Područje pokriveno pelanama je posebno osjetljivo jer je toplo i vlažno, što je plodno tlo za bakterije i gljivice. Ovaj osip najčešće se može naći na području nabora na koži. - Trenje ili trljanje – dječje pelene ili odjeća koja iritira kožu može dovesti do osipa. - Uporaba antibiotika – antibiotici ubijaju bakterije, one dobre isto kao i loše. Kada dijete uzima antibiotike, može se smanjiti broj dobrih bakterija koje sprječavaju razvoj gljivica, što rezultira pelenskim osipom zbog gljivične infekcije. Kada majka dojilja uzima antibiotike također može doći do pelenskog osipa kod bebe. Liječenje pelenskog osipa Najbolji tretman za pelenski osip je zadržati bebinu kožu čistom i suhom čim više je moguće. Prilikom kupanja koristite samo provjerene prirodne proizvode. Također, liječnik vam može propisati kremu ili drugi tretman. Pelenski osip se obično povlači nakon nekoliko dana. Kod učestalog vraćanja pelenskog osipa, preporučuje se posjetiti dermatologa.
