Nappy rash (known as Diaper rash in the Americas) is a common form of irritated skin (dermatitis) that looks like patches of inflamed skin on your baby's bottom. It's often related to wet or infrequently changed diapers, skin sensitivity, and chafing. It usually affects babies, though anyone who wears a diaper regularly can develop the condition.
Diaper rash usually clears up with simple at-home treatments, such as air drying, more-frequent diaper changes and ointment.
