Irritation or yeast: There are two main types of diaper rash. Irritation of urine or stool on the skin can cause red inflamed skin, like a bad sunburn. A good barrier cream (a&d or desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) type) can help protect the skin from further irritation. Yeast can cause little pimple bumps usually in the front of the diaper area. A anti-fungal cream can be used. Keep the diaper area clean and dry to prevent problems.
