The following stages are distinguished by the severity of the flow:

• the first is characterized by mild hyperemia;
• The second one is marked by pronounced redness and slight erosion;
• the third - the affected epidermis occupies a large area on which cracks and extensive erosion are revealed.

From the appearance of this pathology, no one is immune. Infants, obese people, patients with allergic manifestations, persons with incontinence, with hemorrhoids or increased sweating - all of them face the same problem. The cutaneous secret of seriously ill patients is a particularly aggressive environment, as it includes a lot of negative exchange products on the skin.

For diaper rash, a rapid development is characteristic, sometimes for a few hours the slight reddening turns into a brown stain, covered with small cracks, with an unpleasant smell, itching, pain and burning.

Means for diaper rash

What should I rely on when choosing a remedy for diaper rash? First, the severity of inflammation. Secondly, the place of localization of the lesion, including the area of distribution. Thirdly, the patient's age and characteristics of the organism.

If the diaper has only appeared, then you can cope with it by elementary hygienic manipulations - washing with boiled water with soap and air baths. Disinfect, soften, moisturize, and speed up the healing process by using alternative medicine tips (herbal baths or compresses) and baby creams with the necessary effect. Cure minor foci of redness can be special powders and creams.

Launched forms of the disease require consultation with a specialist, laboratory methods of research and targeted treatment (for example, to suppress fungal microflora). In this case, self-medication is extremely undesirable and can lead to complications. Selection of specialized ointments, creams, tablets, etc. It is better to trust the professional. The patient will need to observe the duration of treatment, since with the disappearance of painful symptoms and the appearance of signs of improvement, patients sometimes stop treatment.

Every even the most harmless drug has its own contraindications, especially when treating infants, which should be taken into account in cases of self-use.

A universal remedy is prevention, consisting of regular care for the skin at any age, taking into account all the needs of the largest human organ.

Treating intertrigutions

Treatment of intertrigo should be carried out very carefully. This is due to the fact that the affected areas are rather painful. Areas of skin integrate neatly (not allowed to rub and squeeze) or washed with running boiled water / antiseptic.

• with the purpose of healing prescribed sea buckthorn oil, panthenol, levasil, solcoseryl, etc .;
• treatment of diaper rash ends with wiping the healed dermis with salicylic acid (alcoholic 2% solution), dusting with talcum on the basis of copper sulfate.

Cream for the treatment of diaper rash

At the first signs of the disease, ordinary boiled water and baby creams with healing, drying and anti-inflammatory effects come to the rescue. Observance of elementary rules of personal hygiene is the key to the rapid elimination of inflammation.

Launched stages with the appearance of wetting specimens or penetration of pathogens through the wound surface may require the use of special means. The cream for the treatment of diaper rash diarrhea provides regeneration of the skin, suppresses the pathogenic microflora, normalizes the metabolism of cells and relieves irritation.

The main property of powders is the absorption of excess sweat, which means drying, removing itching, inflammation and rapid healing of inflammation.

When choosing powder, pay attention to color, uniformity, lack of lumps and a sharp odor. Test the powder on a small area of the baby's skin, only then treat the entire area with rashes. Powders are of the following types:

• talc of a liquid consistency - it is especially gentle to a children's skin, at drawing turns to damp-absorbing, not clumping powder;
• powder - perfectly copes with the excessive moisture of the skin, reduces friction on the diaper or diaper.

Mineral talc is the basis for powdering. To increase hygroscopicity, add starch (rice, corn, potato). The introduction of zinc in the composition of powder provides wound healing effect. Presence in the medicinal herbs (lavender, chamomile, thyme and others) are ideal for a diaper at bedtime.

Treatment of diaper rash is carried out under the arms, on the buttocks, in the neck, under the knees, etc. Often, adult patients also come to the aid of powder.

Powder is used at least twice a day, applying it on a dry and clean surface.

Starch

It is not a good idea to use starch for babies. This powder injures the delicate skin of children, forming hard lumps and clogging the pores. Starch is considered to be an ideal breeding medium for infectious microflora, so its use increases the risk of bacteria joining.

However, there are also positive reviews about the treatment with starch. For some small and adult patients, it becomes the only salvage from inflammation. In any case, dermatologists recommend not to introduce recipes of alternative medicine on their own, but to consult a specialist in time.

Treatment of diaper rash with starch should not be carried out under a diaper, the treated surface must necessarily be breathed. Excessively wet, started stage of inflammation is prohibited from sprinkling with homemade powder.

Streptocide

The basis of the streptocid powder is sulfonamide, which has antimicrobial properties. The drug for external use is active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Therapy of the third degree pathology includes lotions with a solution of silver nitrate (0.25%), and after stopping the wetness - streptocidal powder and vegetable oil treatment.

External use of streptocid is prohibited in the pathology of the liver, kidneys and urinary function. Do not use the powder for people with thyroid problems and anemia, as well as in cases of individual intolerance to sulfonamide drugs.

Spray from diaper rash

In the treatment of inflammation, a flocculant spray that has a pronounced soothing, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effect is effective and convenient. Active components of the spray - chamomile, calendula and aluminum acetotartrate remove irritation, dry, prevent infection of affected areas. Flocet does not contain alcohol and is successfully used in the prevention and treatment of diseases of varying intensity. The number of sprays depends on the severity of the pathology.

Apply panthenol from 2 to 4 times a day, for the prevention of diaper dermatitis, buttocks and cutaneous folds of the baby are treated twice a day.

A great advantage of sprays is the ability to treat hard-to-reach places with a non-contact method, especially over a large area. Sprays have a lighter texture, as well as a good absorbent activity.

Panthenol

The basis of panthenol:

• dexpanthenol - upon contact with the skin it is transformed into pantothenic acid (B5), which regulates metabolic processes;
• allantoin (an intermediate link of oxidative processes of uric acid) - is an anesthetic, anti-inflammatory, astringent;
• vitamin E - works at the level of the cell membrane, corrects the redox-oxidative functions of the cells.

Additional components, depending on the form of release, will be: beeswax, talc, petroleum jelly, water, etc.

The natural composition of the drug allows you to use panthenol in newborns and pregnant women with a preventive and curative purpose. Good results are noted in the therapy of microdamages, cracks, bedsores, eczema, ulcers, burns.

The impossibility of using panthenol is due only to individual sensitivity to its constituents. Rarely observed - itching, redness, burning. When detecting negative reactions, the processing of sites is prohibited.

For babies it is ideal milk, which is applied at each diapering / changing diaper to clean dry skin. Adults can use a spray or ointment, and the number of treatments depends on the severity of the lesion and often reaches six times a day.

Chatterboxes from diaper rash

Special pharmacy chatters dry the irritated areas. They are often used as a basis for antibacterial or antifungal cream. For example, a zincol suspension based on zinc oxide is also referred to as a beater. Additional components are talc, starch, glycerin, water and ethyl alcohol. The most valuable property of this talker is the ability to denature proteins. When exposed to zindol, the secretion of fluid and the severity of pathological symptoms decrease. On the surface of the skin a barrier is created, enclosing the area with reddening from the negative effects of cutaneous secretion, urine and other external irritating factors. The suspension is applied to pre-cleaned and dried skin. The bottle is shaken carefully. For processing, you can use a cotton swab or a disc. The substance remains on the skin for several hours, and then washed off with warm water. Particularly severe lesions are treated with masks of zindol, which after drying dries in the air, and sometimes remains all night under the gauze bandage. In order to prevent diaper dyspnea in newborns, the suspension is used in places that come into contact with wet diapers / diapers.

Fukorcin

Antiseptic fukortsin also has an antifungal effect. A solution of crimson color is produced on alcohol and on water. Among the active substances of fucocin - boric acid, phenol, fuchsin, acetone, resorcinol, water or ethyl, respectively.
