Diaper rash is one of the most common skin irritations infants face—but thankfully, it’s also one of the easiest to prevent and treat with the right care and products.
What Causes Diaper Rash?
Diaper rash often results from prolonged exposure to moisture, friction, and irritants like harsh wipes or diapers that don’t allow the skin to breathe. Sometimes, it may also be caused by yeast infections or antibiotic use. According to the Mayo Clinic, common symptoms include red, inflamed skin on your baby's bottom, thighs, or genitals.
Prevention Starts with Clean, Gentle Care
The best way to prevent diaper rash is by keeping your baby’s diaper area clean and dry. Here’s how:
- Change diapers frequently.
- Use natural baby wipes free from alcohol, fragrance, or harsh chemicals.
- Let the skin air out during changes.
- Apply a light barrier cream as needed.
Wipes made with plant-based fibers and enriched with soothing ingredients like Aloe Vera and Chamomile—such as Happy Little Camper Baby Wipes—are ideal for daily use and safe for sensitive skin.
How to Treat Diaper Rash
If a rash develops, keep the area clean and dry. Use a zinc oxide-based cream to calm irritation and protect the skin barrier. Avoid tight diapers or products with synthetic additives. If the rash persists for more than a few days or worsens, consult a pediatrician.
