Diaper rash is a type of skin irritation that shows up as red, swollen patches on your baby’s lower area. It’s usually caused by prolonged exposure to a wet or dirty diaper, but other factors such as friction, yeast infections, or allergic reactions to diaper materials and wipes can also contribute.
