Diaper Dermatitis

摘要

Diaper dermatitis, commonly referred to as diaper rash, is a frequent diagnosis in the pediatric setting, causing distress in both infants and parents because of its often persistent nature despite diligent care around diaper changes. Although diaper dermatitis can be seen in any patient wearing diapers, it typically peaks between 9 and 12 months. Many underlying etiologies should be considered when evaluating a patient with diaper dermatitis. A thorough evaluation involves the patient's underlying medical and family history, characterization of the rash distribution and morphology, and any contributing factors, such as topical products, foods, or other exposures.
