Nappy rash

MUDr.Andrea Vocilková
Kožní ordinace, Praha

Primary irritant napkin dermatitis presents with much the same frequency in all babies until the use of napkins is discontinued. The buttocks,

genitalia, upper thighs and lower abdomen are the areas affected. The flexures tend to be spared. Friction and maceration seem

to be important moments of etiology. Further, secondary invasion by Candida may worsen the disorder. For prevention it is important

that the napkin area is kept as dry as possible. At each napkin change, a water-repellent emollient should be applied after the area is

cleansed with water and dried properly.
