Pediatrician,  's  Response

Dear Parent,

Nappy rash after diarrhea in infants is very common and is most often due to the acidic content of the stools. However there can be a concomitant fungal infection of the skin too. I suggest that you see a pediatrician who can look at the rash and treat it apropriately. In the meanwhile keep the nappy area clean and dry, avoid baby wipes( use water and cotton), pat dry and use nappy rash cream.
