Brief Answer:
You try these preventive measures and speedy recovery.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I understand your concerns. Normal preventative measures are to reduce heat, moisture and friction.
You can try these measures:
- Use Absorb powder this helps reduce the heat and moisture.
- Soak in a warm water bath or a sitz bath several times a day can also offer relief.
- Before putting her into diapers liberally apply a zinc oxide ointment or other high quality barrier cream or skin repair cream to the affected area. This will act as a moisture barrier and speed healing.
- Encourage her to increase their fluid intake, particularly of water or cranberry juice. That will make her urine less concentrated and less irritating to her skin.
I hope this answered your query.
