What is diaper dermatitis?
This is irritation of the baby's skin in the diaper area, which occurs due to contact with feces
How do proteases affect the baby's skin?
Proteases are enzymes that are present in the human gastrointestinal tract. They help digest food. In adults, proteases are almost completely neutralized by the intestinal microflora, but in young children, the intestinal microflora is formed gradually. That is why proteases get on the skin in an active form and damage it.
The occurrence of diaper dermatitis is caused by provoking and damaging factors.
Provoking factors are prolonged wetting of the skin under the diaper, contact with urine, transition from breastfeeding to formula, introduction of solid foods, taking antibiotics, and others.
Damaging factor is the proteases of feces, which, when in contact with the baby's skin, cause irritation, inflammation, rashes on it.
Diaper dermatitis can occur at any time while the child is wearing a diaper!
