Diaper/Nappy Rash is a common problem in adults,Teen Babies, although adults who cannot control passage of urine or feces and must wear incontinence pads or "adult Nappies or Diapers" also can experience the problem. Diaper/Nappy rash in Adults,Teen Babies can cause a great deal of discomfort for the Adult/Teen Baby, but almost always stops when the child is toilet trained. Diaper/Nappy rash results primarily from continued moisture on the skin and is made worse as the skin is exposed to urine and feces. For this reason, diaper/nappy rash is best prevented by changing diapers/nappy frequently to allow the skin to dry thoroughly between episodes of passing urine. When the adult,teen baby passes feces, the skin should be cleaned with mild soap.

What does nappy/diaper rash look like?
If your Adult baby has nappy/diaper rash, you'll know it. Some of the skin covered by the nappy/diaper — probably the genital area, the folds of the thighs and the buttocks — will appear red and inflamed. The affected areas can either be dry or moist and sometimes look pimply.

If the basic nappy/diaper rash isn't treated, it can grow into something worse — for example, a fungal infection, such as yeast, or a bacterial infection. Yeast infections are more common in babies taking antibiotics (these drugs kill the "good" bacteria that normally keep yeast in check) and typically begin as tiny red spots which multiply and mass into a solid red blotch. Bacterial infections, which can be accompanied by Fever, usually cause oozing yellow patches or pus-filled pimples.

What causes nappy/diaper rash?
The main cause is wetness. adult,teen babies urinate often and have frequent, loose bowel movements. Even the most absorbent nappy/diaper leaves some moisture on a adult baby's delicate new skin. A adult baby left in a dirty nappy/diaper for too long is more likely to develop nappy/diaper rash; however, it can still strike the bottoms of adult babies with particularly sensitive skin, even if their parents are frequent nappy/diaper changers.

What's the best way to treat it?
The best remedy is to keep your adult baby clean and dry by changing his/hers nappy/diaper frequently. If the weather is warm and he/she can play outside or in a room with an easy-clean floor, leave his/her nappy/diaper off for as long as possible to allow the air to speed up the healing process.

You might also try switching disposable nappies (Tena,Depends,Attends,Pampers) and detergents to fragrance and additive-free brands: they'll probably clear up the problem if the nappy/diaper rash is allergy-based.

A normal nappy/diaper rash should clear up after three or four days of at-home treatment. If your adult baby's rash persists, spreads, or otherwise worsens, try an anti-yeast cream, such as Canesten, for a few days.

How can I help prevent nappy/diaper rash?
The best defence against nappy/diaper rash is a dry bottom. To help, follow these five easy steps:

• Change your adult baby's nappy/diaper as soon as possible after it becomes wet or messey.

• Clean your adult baby's genital area thoroughly after each bowel movement, and allow it to dry.

• Coat your adult baby's bottom with a thin layer of protective ointment, but don't use          adult baby talcum powder — it can get into a adult baby's lungs.

• Don't fasten nappies/daipers so tightly that there's no room for air to circulate. Plastic pants, nappies/diapers, and clothing should fit somewhat loosely to let your adult baby's bottom breathe.
