What is it?
Diaper rash is a common skin condition in infants and young children caused by prolonged contact with moisture, urine, stool, or friction from diapers. It appears as red, irritated, and sore skin in the diaper area and may sometimes be associated with yeast or bacterial infection. The rash can cause discomfort and fussiness if not managed early.
How it works
At Claire Derma, treatment focuses on soothing irritated skin, protecting the skin barrier, and treating any underlying infection if present. The dermatologist examines the diaper area to assess severity and identify contributing factors. Treatment may include barrier creams, antifungal or antibiotic ointments if needed, and guidance on diaper care and hygiene practices.
