Question
What can I do if my baby gets diaper rash?
Answer
If your baby gets a diaper rash, it's important to keep the area as clean and dry as possible. Change wet or soiled diapers right away; this will also help prevent future rashes. It is not uncommon for a baby to get a diaper rash, but if it does not look like it is going away or gets worse after 2 to 3 days after treatment, call your pediatrician.
