Baby skin is as delicate as it gets. But unfortunately skin this sensitive is easily susceptible to skin irritations like nappy rash. While most babies will experience nappy rash at some point, nappy rash can become fungally infected. So it's just as well help is at hand.
What is Fungal Nappy Rash?
Your baby's skin is extremely delicate which is why most little ones will experience nappy rash at some point before their first birthday. Nappy rash is a skin irritation that affects the sensitive skin around your baby's nappy area. Nappy rash can become fungally infected and can be quite painful and uncomfortable for your baby.
It happens when a babys skin is exposed to wet or dirty nappies for too long. Even though urine is sterile, germs on your baby's skin and in the nappy can change harmless chemicals in the urine, into skin irritating chemicals like ammonia. But having a nappy on for too long isn't the only cause of nappy rash. Many babies get the skin condition no matter how clean and dry their behind is which can be caused by the skin rubbing against the nappy, fragranced wipes, powders and soaps, whereas other babies can sit in a wet and dirty nappy and remain unaffected.
