The thing is that the babies are very close to the surface of the vessels, the skin is thin and the fat layer is very small. Because of this, overheating of the child contributes to the fact that moisture evaporates too quickly. And if you add to this the friction of clothing about the baby's skin, it becomes clear where the intertrigo comes from.
With an excessive amount of moisture from the skin, natural lubrication is removed, resulting in the destruction of the protective barrier. This facilitates various microbes penetration into the skin.
If you do not want due to the increased humidity and friction of clothing, the child has an opacity, adhere to several rules:
Rule one . Always ensure that urine and feces do not irritate the baby's skin for a long time, and for this - as often as possible, check diapers for their dryness.
Rule two . In no case do not wrap the child, do not allow the body to overheat and the high temperature of the air in the room. Often ventilate the room. The child wear so that it was on one layer of clothing more than you, but no more.
The third rule . Do not forget that in order to avoid diaper rash after every bathing and washing, the child's body should be carefully wiped without leaving a drop of moisture. Thoroughly wipe the folds! It is in them that they can "hide" water droplets.
Rule four . If you notice that the baby's skin turns red along the line where the diaper is lying on, this could mean that this diaper includes some material or substance that does not fit your baby. In that case, just try the diapers of another brand.
The fifth rule . Try to ensure that the child's clothes are sewn to the maximum from natural fabrics, without the addition of synthetic fibers. It is also desirable that the clothes do not have rough seams and that it does not constrain the movements of the baby.
Rule six . Always carefully care for the skin crumbs: change diapers every 3-3.5 hours, thoroughly wash the baby every time you change the diaper. Do not neglect the erosion, using wet wipes to cleanse the skin. Wet wipes perfectly help out when you are on the street or elsewhere, where washing is impossible. But at home it is better to use water and soap. By the way, wet wipes should also be chosen very carefully. Each child is individual, and those napkins, which the skin of one child will perceive normally, can not absolutely approach another baby.
The seventh rule . Often arrange baby air baths. Try to keep the little one naked at least 40 minutes a day. This is a remarkable prevention of diaper rash.
Rule eighth . Means for skin care of the child try to buy only in pharmacies. So you will be assured of their quality.
Rule ninth. When washing children's clothes, use special hypoallergenic detergents for children, or household or children's soaps.
The rule is the tenth . In order not to miss the moment of the appearance of diaper rash, always pay attention to the skin condition of the baby, especially in wrinkles, whenever changing clothes or changing diapers. Check if there are redness and do not rub your skin.
If the diaper rash is very strong and when all the rules are not met - this is the reason for immediate contact with a doctor! Perhaps, the doctor will appoint you special creams and ointments that have a drying and healing effect.
