Nappy creams, what are they for?

Nappy creams are used to help the skin recover from irritations, redness and rashes that tend to appear due to friction and the continuous use of nappies.

This is why this type of ointment is used at every nappy change to prevent these discomforts and avoid the appearance of dermatitis, creating a natural protective barrier on the skin, which protects it without obstructing the pores.

What is the best nappy cream?

Among the different brands we can find on the market, the best are those containing zinc oxide in their formulation, as they recover the skin barrier more quickly, helping to isolate the area for better regeneration when the lesion appears.

Furthermore, according to the OCU, the three best brands of nappy cream are Mustela, Chicco and Lutsine Eryplast.

What is nappy rash?

It occurs when the skin becomes inflamed as a result of the continued use of nappies. It is one of the most common problems in both babies and older people who use nappies.

It is a problem mainly related to sensitive skin, the rubbing of the nappy or when the nappy is changed infrequently. Among its symptoms, it tends to appear as bright red spots on the buttocks area.

How long does it take to heal?

Nappy rash usually clears up within 2 to 3 days of onset, although it may last longer.
