After using Pampers diapers, the baby developed a rash and irritation. How can one tell if it's an allergy to the diapers or a problem with care?

A rash after using diapers can occur due to:
– an individual allergic reaction to materials or fragrances;
– changing diapers too infrequently;
– delayed hygienic care;
– overheating (diapers create a "greenhouse effect").

How to tell the difference:
An allergy usually appears as a bright red rash, peeling, and itching across the entire contact area and persists even after removing the diaper.

Diaper rash and irritation from improper care appear pink, are localized in skin folds, and go away after airing out and applying cream.

What to do:
Let the skin "breathe" — give your baby “air baths” several times a day.

Try a different series or brand of diapers that are free of fragrances and lotions.

Use a hypoallergenic diaper cream.

If the rash worsens or doesn’t go away after 2–3 days, consult a pediatrician or dermatologist.
