Condition
Diaper Rash
Diaper rash is irritated skin under the diaper, common in babies, brought on by lasting contact with urine and stool, friction, and warm, moist conditions. The evidence is strongest for zinc oxide and petrolatum barrier products, though little research on them has been reviewed here so far. Probiotics and calendula have moderate evidence, while aloe vera, which one review covered for skin conditions, is limited.
