Baby Nappy Rash
What does nappy rash look like?
If
your baby has nappy rash, you'll know it. Her skin will be red and inflamed
where it's been in close contact with her nappy. Unfortunately, the rash may
affect her genitals, the outer skin on the folds of her thighs, and her bottom.
The affected areas can appear either dry or moist. It may sometimes look shiny
or pimply.
If nappy rash isn't treated, it can develop into something more serious, including:
·
A yeast infection, such as thrush or
candida. A yeast infection is more common in babies taking antibiotics because
the antibiotics kill the good bacteria that normally keep yeast in check.
Thrush begins as tiny red spots that multiply and mass into a solid red blotch.
·
A bacterial infection. Your baby may have
a fever,
and the infection usually causes oozing yellow patches or pus-filled pimples.
