What is diaper rash?
It's irritation of the baby's skin in the diaper area that occurs due to contact with stool
How do proteases affect baby's skin?
Proteases are enzymes present in the human gastrointestinal tract. They help digest food. In adults, proteases are almost completely neutralized by intestinal microflora, but in young children, intestinal microflora develops gradually. That's why proteases reach the skin in active form and damage it.
Diaper rash development is caused by provoking and damaging factors.
Provoking factors include prolonged skin moisture under the diaper, contact with urine, transition from breastfeeding to formula, introduction of solid food, antibiotic use, and others.
Damaging factor is the proteases in stool, which when in contact with baby's skin cause irritation, inflammation, and rashes.
Diaper rash can occur at any time while the child wears diapers!
