What is it?
Diaper candidiasis is a fungal infection of the diaper area caused by overgrowth of Candida yeast. It often develops when a regular diaper rash becomes infected due to prolonged moisture. The rash appears as bright red, sore skin with well-defined borders and small satellite spots around the main rash. It can cause significant discomfort if not treated promptly.
How it works
At Claire Derma, treatment focuses on clearing the yeast infection and soothing the inflamed skin. The dermatologist examines the diaper area to confirm candidiasis and assess severity. Management includes antifungal creams along with barrier protection and guidance on diaper hygiene, frequent changes, and keeping the area dry to support healing.
