Diaper rash is easy to spot and easy to treat. It is a red, patchy irritation
found on baby's skin in the genital area, the folds of the thighs and the
buttocks. Don't worry, Mom, all babies get diaper rash from time to time.
Babies are so susceptible to diaper rash that wet and soiled diapers can
irritate baby's delicate skin. Naturally, if your baby is in a wet diaper for
too long, she will be more prone to getting a rash.

Some of the most common causes of diaper rash to be aware of are:
  • Irritation due to bowel movements
  • Irritation due to moisture from sweat and urine
        (even the most absorbent diapers leave some wetness behind)
  • Not drying the skin thoroughly after a diaper change
  • Diaper chafing/friction
  • Diarrhea, which may be caused by antibiotics
  • Change in food or introducing new foods
     
  • Use A+D® Original Ointment at every diaper change to prevent your baby
    from ever getting diaper rash.

    Ointment

    Just as you protect and condition your skin every day, you can do the same
    for your baby:
  • Prevent diaper rash by applying a generous layer of A+D® Original
        Ointment
    on baby's bottom, genital area and the folds of the thighs
        at every diaper change.
  • It is safe to use everyday.
     
  • A+D® Ointment is uniquely formulated to create a protective barrier on
    baby's skin, preventing irritation from wetness, soiled diapers, and diaper
    chafing. In fact, in a recent study, Moms who used a diaper rash cream like
    A+D® at every diaper change reported that their babies were 5 times less
    likely to get a diaper rash (as compared with babies whose mothers did not).
    Treat with A+D® Zinc Oxide Cream.

    Oxide Cream

    It contains the #1 Pediatrician recommended ingredient, Zinc Oxide, to treat
    and calm the rash, relieve discomfort, and protect your baby's precious skin.
    These simple tips to treat diaper rash will soothe your baby's skin quickly
    and will help prevent diaper rash from recurring:
  • At the first sign of redness, apply an even, liberal coat of A+D®
        Zinc Oxide Cream
    to the entire diaper area at every diaper change
  • Change baby's wet diaper as soon as possible
  • Soak your baby's bottom in clean, tepid water. Avoid using soap
        or disposable wipes, which may irritate the skin
  • Allow your baby's skin to air dry without a diaper for short periods
        during the day
  • Avoid non-breathable fabrics and plastic pants
     
  • With proper care, most diaper rashes will disappear within a few days.
    If the rash lasts longer, consult your pediatrician.
     
    Use as directed.
