Nappy rash or diaper rash is not something you want your baby to suffer from. The name ‘nappy rash' is derived from leaving on a wet nappy (diaper). Nappy rash is the part under the diaper with red spots, boils, and at times broken skin. The part may be very red and sore.

Causes

It normally aggravates with cloth diapers, particularly when using waterproof pants, instead of disposables. The waterproof pants prevent the entry air into the area.

Disposable diapers are more effective at soaking the dampness into an inside layer to keep it away from baby. Another cause besides urine can be the detergent residue in the diapers after washing. Just because the diapers or nappies undergo the rinse cycle in your washing machine doesn’t mean it is free of all the detergent. So it is advisable to rinse the diapers multiple times to rinse them completely. Some babies can develop an allergic reaction to this detergent.
