Nappy Rash Treatment
. Posted in Frontpage
- Changing nappies frequently helps to minimise wetness, overheating and friction.
- Cleaning the nappy area at every change is important, however remember to include a moisturiser after cleansing to keep the skin supple and protected.
- Creams are helpful towards relieving symptoms, but the rash may occur again if cleansing and changing habits have not changed, or other irritants are continually exposed.
- Avoid pre-moistened baby wipes which have detergent chemicals, preservatives and fragrances. If you must use a baby wipe for convenience, always pat the skin dry after use.
