Diaper Dermatitis treatment in Puebla

Diaper dermatitis is an irritation of the skin in the area covered by the diaper, common in babies and infants, which appears as redness and discomfort on the buttocks, groin, or thighs.

Common causes: Prolonged contact with moisture, urine, and stool, friction from the diaper, and, at times, fungal or bacterial infections.

Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician is usually the first point of contact, and the pediatric dermatologist helps in persistent cases or those that do not improve with routine care.

When to seek care? If the skin has blisters, sores, or oozing, or if the irritation does not resolve within several days, it is worth showing it to a professional for guidance on appropriate care.
