Awareness Of Mothers Regarding Diaper Related Problems Including Management And Diaper Hygiene Practices (Article)

INTRODUCTION: Diaper problem is one of the most common skin infections in infants and toddlers.  It is commonly caused by irritation in the diaper area. The rash is usually evident on the abdomen, genitalia, and inside the skin folds of the thighs and buttocks and affects infants between the ages of 4 and 15 months. Diaper problem is one of the most common skin infections in infants and toddlers.  It is commonly caused by irritation in the diaper area.

The rash is usually evident on the abdomen, genitalia, and inside the skin folds of the thighs and buttocks and affects infants between the ages of 4 and 15 months. The severity can be mild to extreme, in some cases containing open sores or a secondary infection. Diaper Dermatitis has been wrongfully labeled as a sign of poor parenting skills and child neglect.

This misunderstanding around Diaper Rash has led to ill-advised mothers combing through lists of purported remedies with little success. Treatment failure is common because the effective management of Diaper Rash requires the recognition and control of predisposing factors. The use of medical remedies has little chance of success without concomitant control of predisposing factors.

A study concluded that the prevalence of diaper dermatitis was 36.1%, a rate which significantly decreased with age. The highest prevalence was found in subjects who were one to six months old. Risk factors were diaper changing fewer than three times/night, previous episodes of diaper rash, using cloth diapers, and topical application of baby talcum powder to the diaper area. The presence of diaper dermatitis has been found to be associated with discomfort, irritation, and pain, which affects neonates’ quality of life.

Candida has a fecal origin and is not an organism normally found on perineal skin. Amoxicillin was found to increase the colonization by Candida and worsens the diaper dermatitis.8

Approximately one-quarter (21% to 27.5%) of parenting women report diaper needs in which they lack adequate diapers care to keep their child sufficiently diapered for hygiene and comfort.
