Diaper rash is common among infants and children and should be treated promptly to prevent worsening. Recommended options include:
- Zinc oxide creams: help soothe the skin and create a protective barrier.
- Moisturizing creams: keep the skin hydrated and reduce friction with the diaper.
If the rash persists or worsens, antifungal creams may be needed twice daily, and if no improvement is seen within 7 days, consult a doctor for further treatment.
