Diaper Rash and Zinc Oxide:

Try as you might prevent them, your baby is going to experience diaper rashes. Keep in mind that diaper rash can be caused by changing frequency and chafing to rubbing and sensitive skin.

Diaper Rash and Infant Eczema

We are often asked if it’s possible for babies to get eczema in their diaper area. Here’s the thing: because the skin stays too moist here, there’s little reason to be concerned about AD developing. With that in mind, it’s still a good idea to ask their physician about which diaper rash creams are most effective for babies with eczema.

For the most part, infant eczema consists of a rash that appears suddenly and:

• Makes the skin dry, scaly, and itchy
• Forms on the scalp and face
• Causes itching that comes and goes

Our team understands the frustration that comes with toddlers suffering from eczema, which is why we continually seek to improve the quality of life of infants dealing with sensitive skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis and pruritus.
