- Diaper Skin Soother Plus, Large
Red, hot, skin that is obviously painful. Diaper rash is a horrible thing to see. I remember when our daughter Emily had diaper rash. It was heart-wrenching to see her suffer with deep red splotches. (We unfortunately had not developed this product yet.) Diaper rash is a form of dermatitis (skin inflammation). Most children suffer from it at one point or another. People often believe that it is from parent neglect and not changing diapers frequently enough. Studies show that this is rarely the cause. There are many possible underlying causes. It can be from contact /allergic reactions to creams, wipes or diapers. It can be from rubbing or friction. It can come from food sensitivities. The irritated skin can also be infected by bacteria (Staph or Strep) or yeast (Candida). In the herbal view of things this type of hot, red, damp skin condition is usually considered 'damp heat'.
