Are Rashes On The Diaper Area And Green Watery Stool Due To Infection?
Hi My baby is 8 months old. Of late he developed some rashes on tge inner folds of diaper area. I applied candid as it seemed to me that it was itching him. I also applied Pfizer Rashfree ointment. At around the same time, he started having green motions and smelly too. After a couple of days the rashes subsided and the motions were not so loose. However on the fourth day, again loose watery green motions began and the rashes erupted again! My baby is now taking Rinifol dry syrup . Please advise if this is due to infection or due to diaper change. I had recently changed to another brand of diapers but have discontinued after the rashes. Thanks
This rash is probably due to diapers and diarrhea is suggestive of either infection or if a baby eats green leafy vegetables.
Give your baby more time without a diaper, wash his/her bottom after every pee/poop, let it dry then apply next diaper, change his/her diaper more often, and do not over tighten the diaper.
If you think diarrhea is troublesome consult your doctor for proper checkup.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
