This is called diaper rash. The main cause of diaper rash in adults is because of skin irritation in the diaper area. This skin irritation is brought upon by a number of things such as dampness, warm barrier environment, bad hygiene, incontinence or infection. Other causes are contact dermatitis, infection (mostly staphylococcus, streptococcus and candida albicans), and allergic reaction to fragrances and bits of diaper. The diaper area doesn’t get a chance to dry out or have any exposure to fresh air, having to endure prolonged spells soaking in urine of faecal matter. Advice 1.
