Mild diaper rash can be treated at home with these simple tips.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Change diapers frequently to prevent skin contact with stool.

  2. Step 2

    Rinse baby's skin with warm water during each diaper change. Wash with mild soap only after a bowel movement. Avoid diaper wipes. They may cause the rash to become worse.

  3. Step 3

    Expose the baby's bottom to air as much as possible. Air circulation speeds healing.

  4. Step 4

    If the diaper rash does not improve within 3 days, contact your pediatrician.
