This is usually caused by your baby\u2019s bottom being in contact with a dirty nappy for a prolonged period or if the baby has a bout of diarrhoea. It is often the combination of urine and faeces which causes the most irritation. Mild nappy rash should disappear after a few days of following the steps above \u2014 sometimes it can go over night.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fungal nappy rash<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Different types of nappy rash require different treatments. A fungal nappy rash is a form of thrush and treatment is often an anti-fungal cream which your GP will need to prescribe. This should be applied thinly to the affected area. The fungal rash shows as tiny red spots and the genitals can appear swollen and can sometimes occur if your baby is on antibiotics. It is important that, if the nappy rash is fungal, you avoid your usual barrier cream as this can make the condition worse. If you are unsure, ask your GP or Health Visitor for advice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bacterial nappy rash<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A bacterial nappy rash shows as infected spots or pimples and your baby is likely to have a fever. It can develop from a normal nappy rash when the skin has broken and an infection has developed because of bacteria entering the broken skin. This type of nappy rash may well need antibiotics so you should see your GP for treatment advice and monitoring as soon as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to spot nappy rash You can often quickly detect nappy rash by looking for these effects: A slight redness in the nappy area(This tends not to affect the skin folds.)
