Answer 4

Diaper rash is just another name for a rash caused by irritation and constant exposure of the skin to moisture, you don't have to wears diapers to get a "diaper" rash.

Age isn't a factor, babies get it most of the time because they are the ones that are more consistently exposed to these conditions because of wearing wet diapers, that's why it is called diaper rash.

The rash can be prevented with proper care. I wear diapers 24 / 7 due to being medically incontinent. If you use pleanty of powder and give your skin a chance to air out periodically then the rash will not occur. I've worn diapers all the time for quite some time now and have never had a diaper rash.

I also do not use disposable diapers, they cause more rashes than cloth diapers do. I wear cloth all the time. I know that is one reason why I don't have the rashes.

Good luck, and I hope you never get "diaper" rash, it isn't comfortable.

Answer 7

I understand diaper rash is one form the Candida Albicans fungus can take. I have something like that, and I am trying to fight it from the inside out.

You need an anti-fungal cream and/or powder. You can use lotrimin AF cream or any other similar anti-fungal product. You can order Zeasorb-AF powder through your drug store, if they don't carry it on the shelves. Or you can use yogurt. Eat plain yogurt about 3 times a week, and/or use it like a cream on the area. It will smell, but the acidophilus bacteria in the yogurt neutralizes yeast.

This is also the same fungus that results in jock itch, athlete's foot, thrush (white tongue), vaginitis (in women), ringworm and other skin rashes. It is the Candida Albicans fungus (yeast).

For basic information on the systemic yeast syndrome, check out the link on the Welcome page of www.hufa.org.

people who are bedridden can get diaper rash if they sit in urine. most people can get heat rash and many other sorts of rashes caused by a variety of things. if bathing in baking soda water and such doesnt help, then you likely have a fungus . try tolenaftate cream, over the counter at the drug store. or if you have changed your laundry detergent or fabric treatments you might be allergic.
