title: Diaper dermatitis: a survey of risk factors in Thai children aged under 24 months
abstract: To identify the prevalence and risk factors associated with diaper dermatitis in Thai children aged 1 24 months. This was a cross sectional study of 1153 participants using structural questionnaires, which was conducted at Khon Kaen University Faculty of Medicine Pediatric department in Thailand. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to test the association between diaper dermatitis and its possible risk factors. The prevalence of diaper dermatitis among the study population was 36.1% a rate which significantly decreased with age. The highest prevalence was found in subjects who were one to six months old. Risk factors that had a statistically significant association with diaper dermatitis in both univariate and multivariate analysis were i) diaper changing fewer than three times/night, ii) previous episodes of diaper rash, iii) using cloth diapers, and iv) topical application of baby talcum powder to the diaper area. Frequent diaper changings during the daytime do not compensate for fewer changings during the night. Moreover, the use of baby talcum powder on the diaper area significantly increased the risk of diaper dermatitis among the study population. These findings should be applied in future preventive strategies for diaper dermatitis in this age group.

title: Neonatal skin care: Developments in care to maintain neonatal barrier function and prevention of diaper dermatitis
abstract: Understanding the importance of the barrier function of the skin of preterm and term neonates is crucial in effective neonatal skin and diaper care. This literature search aimed to review the development of different practices in neonatal care to maintain skin barrier function, in turn preventing diaper dermatitis.

title: An Integrative Review of Clinical Characteristics of Infants With Diaper Dermatitis
abstract: Diaper dermatitis (DD) severity is demonstrated by the degree of erythema and skin breakdown. Many studies describe diaper dermatitis, but lack a full description of clinical characteristic (CC) involvement.  The purpose of this literature review is to explore the descriptions of CC of infants with DD provided within infant DD literature. Search Strategy: PubMed and Web of Science were searched using the keywords: diaper dermatitis, diaper rash, infant, and neonate. The inclusion criteria for this project are as follows: published after 1990, English language, include skin assessment or evaluation, and infant/children two years of age. Review and opinion articles were excluded.  A total of 454 studies were retrieved, 27 remained after review for duplicates and relevance. The CC described most often were: type of feeds, stool frequency, history of DD, use of antibiotics, and delivery mode.  The studies reported inconsistent CC and a lack of correlation between these characteristics and the condition of diapered skin. Many studies focused solely on the efficacy of interventions lacking description of possible relationships between DD and CC.  Skin condition outcome variables can be improved with the acknowledgment of the impact CC have on the development of DD. The combination of assessment measures and CC may ultimately demonstrate more merit or rigor for describing DD severity and skin condition.  Future research should expand this exploration to include environmental or contributing factors to continue to identify additional risk factors for DD.

title: Diaper Dermatitis: answers to questions most frequently asked by pediatricians and parents in the light of recent global trends
abstract: The review provides current data on terminology, prevalence, etiopathogenesis, clinic and differential diagnosis of diaper dermatitis (DD) Particular attention is paid to approaches to the prevention and treatment of DD. Modern emollients and moisturisers, production technologies and possibilities of superabsorbing diapers have made it possible to significantly facilitate skin care for newborns and infants, and reduce the frequency and severity of the clinical manifestations of this disease. The key to successful prevention of DD is raising parents' awareness and teaching them how to care for their baby's skin.

title: Shifts in the skin microbiome associated with diaper dermatitis and emollient treatment amongst infants and toddlers in China
abstract: The microbiological basis of diaper dermatitis has not been clearly elucidated; however, a better understanding of microbial colonization may be vital for developing appropriate therapies.

title: Knowledge of Diaper Dermatitis and Diaper Hygiene Practices among Mothers of Diaper wearing Children
abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of diaper dermatitis (DD) knowledge of DD prevention and treatment, and diaper hygiene practices among mothers with diaper wearing children.  The participants were 176 mothers who presented to an outpatient clinic at a children's hospital with diaper wearing children. Data were collected using a structured self administered questionnaire.  The percent of correct answer for knowledge about DD was 59.7% Almost half of the participants' children had experienced at least 1 episode of DD during the last 6 months. Inappropriate diaper hygiene practices, such as using talcum powder on DD and rubbing with a dry towel after cleansing, were reported. Moreover, only 37% of mothers used the recommended skin barrier to prevent DD. Although many children suffer from DD, levels of educational experience and perceived need for education on this topic were low. Almost 70% of mothers obtained DD related information through internet sites.  Educating parents about the etiology of DD and evidence based diaper hygiene practices is an important aspect of effective DD prevention and treatment. Internet sites or smartphone apps may be effective methods for education on DD prevention and treatment considering parents' preferences for ways to obtain health information.

title: Perianal Verrucous Lesions in Infants with Diaper Dermatitis
abstract: Two baby girls presented with verrucous plaques on the labia majora. Both of them had history of repeated diaper dermatitis and no history indicating sexual abuse. Histological findings excluded a number of suspected differential diagnoses and confirmed a rare and striking entity of irritant dermatitis.

title: Diaper dermatitis prevalence and severity: Global perspective on the impact of caregiver behavior
abstract: To compare prevalence and severity of diaper dermatitis (DD) in infants and toddlers (babies) across three countries (China, USA, and Germany) including diapered skin measures and caregiver practices.

title: Diaper dermatitis. The role of a nurse in the care of a baby with diaper dermatitis
abstract: This article is a continuation of a series of articles on the role of nurses in the care of children during their first year of life. The article presents the authors' vision on the creation of a team system (doctor nurse) of outpatient care and counseling of parents on the causes of diaper dermatitis, methods of prevention and treatment of this pathology, depending on the stage of the process. The algorithm of appointment and choice of external means in treatment of diaper dermatitis is presented, their possibilities and efficiency depending on forms of release a cream or an ointment are defined.
