Hi S. P. – Nappy rash typically results from skin contact with a wet or dirty nappy. Moisture plus friction resulting from his DryNites moving against his skin can cause irritation and inflammation. If his DryNite is particularly full or if he has particularly sensitive skin he may be more prone to developing a rash. In terms of managing his nappy rash – I would use some form of barrier cream. I found paw paw cream good for treating nappy rash with my own children. Make sure he washes himself properly in the morning to remove all traces of urine. Avoid using irritants such as soap as this will only irritate his rash even more. If the rash continues or gets worse you should have him checked by your GP to determine whether he is prone to eczema, which may be causing him to develop the nappy rash.
Regards,
Dr Cathrine
