4 well known Homeopathic medicine for nappy rash

Nappy rash (diaper rash) is a very common skin condition in children under 2. It’s caused by the skin coming into contact with urine (wee) and faeces (poo) in the nappy. Mild cases are usually painless but severe nappy rash can cause discomfort and distress to babies.

What causes nappy rash?

  • A baby’s skin can get irritated when a diaper is left on for too long and poop rubs against the skin repeatedly.
  • Infection. Urine (pee) changes the skin’s pH levels, and that lets bacteria and fungi grow more easily. The substances that stop nappies from leaking also prevent air circulation, creating a warm, moist environment where bacteria and fungi can thrive, causing a rash.
  • Allergies. Babies with sensitive skin also can develop rashes. Some types of detergent, soaps, diapers (or dyes from diapers), or baby wipes can affect sensitive skin, causing a rash.

Also, starting new foods can change the content and frequency of a baby’s poop, which can sometimes lead to a nappy rash (Diaper rash). And diarrhea can make an existing case of diaper rash worse.

Nappy rash that lasts for more than a few days, even with changes to the diapering routine, might be caused by a yeast called Candida albicans.

What are the signs of nappy rash?

A pink or red rash around your baby’s bottom is usually the first sign of nappy rash. The rash may extend to the whole area covered by their nappy. You may also see white pimples around your baby’s bottom and skin folds.

Is homeopathy effective for nappy rash?

The constitutional approach helps in immunity development and thereby prevents further relapsing and complications.
