FAQs

1. What is nappy rash?

Nappy rash is irritation of the skin surrounding the ‘nappy area’. It is a common problem in babies and toddlers who wear nappies, but is usually not a sign of anything serious.

2. How do I know if my child has nappy rash?

If your baby has nappy rash, the skin under the nappy will look red and inflamed and can sometimes be spotty in appearance. The skin may blister and peel, leaving raw patches. Your baby may be unusually irritable or unsettled as nappy rash can be quite sore and uncomfortable, especially when urine comes into contact with the rash.

3. How can I prevent and manage nappy rash?

The first step in both the prevention and management of nappy rash is to apply a barrier cream, such as Nappy Goo, at each nappy change to prevent moisture and irritants from reaching the skin. For more helpful tips on how to prevent and manage nappy rash, see our nappy rash information page.
