Abstract
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 3 days. Topical fluorinated glucocorticosteroids, boric acid and Hg-containing preparations should be avoided in the diaper area because of their toxocity.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
