Why does she have it: 1. If from diet, change diet 2. Typical creams that help include calendula, boudreaux butt paste, zinc oxide, desitin, (zinc oxide diaper cream) etc 3. When a diaper rash is not improving after three days using a barrier cream like listed in #2 consider antifungal like lotrimin, tinactin, or micatin. 4.Bathing in a water with baking soda can also calm the rash.

Simple Care: Skin is the major protection of our delicate internal tissues from a harsh environment, it is susceptible to injury itself. Feces/urine are very irritating as well as constant exposure to moisture reduces protective skin oils and sets the skin up for injury from friction from the nappy and rubbing her bottom when moving. Change her more frequently and apply good protective skin cream frequently.
