If the nappy rash is mild then there is no need for any medication or specialist treatment. Instead, there are a number of steps that you can take to help safely treat the rash at home. Some of these steps are outlined below.
Change the nappy of your baby regularly. Be sure to replace the soiled nappy with a new one, whenever your baby defecates. Even if a nappy can soak the urine for a long time, it is better to change it frequently.
Leave your baby to play around without wearing a nappy, as long as possible. He/she would feel better without the nappy. Moreover, the rash will be healed quickly.
Do not forget to follow a skincare routine for your baby. Clean the genital areas of the baby, every time after he/she defecates. Allow the area to dry completely, before putting on a new diaper.
You may cover your baby's nappy area with a thin layer of protective ointment or a baby's powder. Do this only after ensuring that your baby is not allergic to such products.
Allow room for air to circulate in the nappy area. Therefore, do not tighten the diaper too much. Nappies should fit somewhat loosely, so that the area of the body is allowed to 'breathe'.
A normal nappy rash may continue for two to three days. If the condition persists for more than five days, consult a doctor and get a medicine prescribed for the same.
