Incorrect use of diapers or poor quality diapers can cause babies to get diaper rash, which can be very uncomfortable for babies, so let's talk about this problem with you. Let's talk to you about the causes and symptoms of diaper rash. Causes and symptoms of diaper rash The cause of diaper rash is mostly due to the irritation of the skin caused by amonia produced by the bacterial decomposition of urine and feces. In addition, the environment in the diaper is humid, which can easily breed bacteria and fungi, and then cause infection. Make the symptoms worse. If you neglect to replace it, you will soon have red skin symptoms. If the redness is not improved, some small dot-like rashes will appear. At this time, most of the delicate skin has been swollen, and the baby has obvious discomfort. If it is ignored, it will further develop into a situation where the skin is broken, penetrating fluid flows out, and even blood oozes. Since changing diapers frequently is so important, how often do you have to change them? What additional cleaning actions do I need to do when changing diapers? Huang Yali, head of nursing at the Taipei Medical University Hospital, said that in the case of disposable diapers, because most of them contain high absorption polymer, you can refer to the wetness indicator or change them when the diaper has a little weight. In addition, although cloth diapers have good air permeability, they also have fast re-penetration. Once the diapers are wet, it is best to change them immediately, so as not to backfire.
