This burn is usually accompanied by inflammation and redness of the skin and causes restlessness and impatience in the baby, which usually prevents the child from sleeping soundly and deeply, and in the long run may cause the child to develop infectious skin diseases.

The first step to treatment
One of the most useful and simple ways to control and treat a baby diaper burn is to change it as soon as possible.

It is better for parents to leave the baby open for a while after each change and place him in the air so that the skin in the diaper area is slightly ventilated and its sensitivity is reduced.
The importance of timely treatment of burns
One of the most important factors in the timely treatment of diaper rash is the possibility of skin infections, fungal infections and advanced allergies that may turn into sores in the long run.

Therefore, parents should not ignore the possibility of burns and infectious skin diseases.
