Diarrhoea and Nappy Rash
If your baby has diarrhoea and is frequently passing watery poos, it can be more difficult to prevent nappy rash from developing…
How is nappy rash caused by diarrhoea
Most of the common nappy rash causes are triggered by one thing: diarrhoea. Nappy rash usually starts when your baby’s delicate skin is in prolonged contact with urine and faeces in the nappy. It’s much more difficult to prevent this if your baby has diarrhoea. No matter how often you change your baby’s nappy, it can be difficult to keep your baby’s bottom clean which may lead to nappy rash. To make the experience of loose stools a little less unpleasant for you and your little one, why not try our handy Mitosyl Protective Ointment and Naturel wipes at each nappy change?

A Mitosyl miracle from us to you
When beginning the weaning process with your little one, why not create a food diary and track their stools against it? This way, you'll know for sure whether it's the butternut squash or pureed banana which is the culprit behind those extra-nasty nappies.
When to seek medical
advice
If your little one is suffering from severe nappy rash or it doesn’t go away in a couple of days, speak to your doctor for treatment. Also:
- If you think your baby could have a certain food allergy which has caused the rash.
- If your baby has consistent raised temperature.
- If your baby shows symptoms of severe nappy rash, such as a persistent, moist, bright-red rash with white or red spots.
