Diaper Dermatitis: Current Concepts

William L. Weston MD, FAAP1, Alfred T. Lane MD, FAAP1, and Janet A. Weston MD1

1 Departments of Dermatology and Pediatrics, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver

Diaper dermatitis may result from prolonged skin contact with wetness and bacteria. Ammonia plays no apparent role in the generation of diaper dermatitis. Candida albicans frequently contaminates a diaper dermatitis and should be considered present in any diaper dermatitis known to be present for longer than three days. Topical fluorinated glucocorticosteroids, boric acid, and mercury-containing preparations should be avoided in the diaper area because of their toxicity.
