Diaper Rash – Identification, Causes and Remedies
A baby’s skin is sensitive. If you notice that your baby’s skin is reddish and has small rashes in the area covered by the diaper, then your baby might have diaper rash. Diaper rash is very common in babies, and most parents need to tend to it in the first year of their child’s life. The skin affected by diaper rash may look puffy with a few prickly spots or even have large red bumps (usually spread on the thighs and tummy).

What is Diaper Rash?
Diaper rashes may appear once your baby starts wearing diapers. It affects the skin under the diaper. Baby diaper rash or diaper dermatitis is a common skin condition, which makes your baby’s skin red, sore and tender.
This generally affects infants and toddlers below the age of 2. If your baby’s bottom looks irritated and you can see rashes on it, then chances are that your baby has yeast diaper rash. This kind of diaper rash occurs due to a yeast infection. Skin affected by a yeast diaper rash will also feel warm when you touch it.
Types of Diaper Rash
Diaper rashes can be of different types. The common ones are:
1. Contact diaper rashes
These are the result of keeping your baby in a wet diaper for a long time. Such rashes are often not too serious.
2. Yeast rashes
These usually appear on the folds of your baby’s skin.
3. Allergy
An allergy can also lead to rashes in the diaper area.
4. Rashes because of acidity
Rashes can also appear if your baby’s stool is too acidic.
Signs of Diaper Rash
A diaper rash might be caused by a variety of reasons, such as the baby’s urine or the introduction of a new food. Although it is a transitory issue, the irritated skin might cause discomfort to the baby for a few days. Recognising diaper rash and taking preventive and remedial measures will go a long way in ensuring your baby’s comfort. Here are a few signs to look out for in babies who wear diapers.
The symptoms of yeast diaper rash include:
Rashes on the baby’s bottom: If you see pink or red patches on your baby’s bottom, it can be a sign of diaper rash.
Bumps on the baby’s bottom and thighs: Bumps which appear on the baby’s bottom and thighs may be a diaper rash. These bumps may be red and filled with a fluid.
Scaling: Peeling or scaling of the skin in the diaper area may be a sign of diaper rash.
Bleeding: The skin on baby’s bottom may bleed if she has severe diaper rash.
Dryness: Dry skin on the baby’s bottom may be a sign of diaper rash.
A rise in temperature: If the skin covered by the diaper is warmer than the rest of the body, this may be a sign of diaper rash.
A fussy baby: If your baby cries while you are cleaning the diaper area, it may be because of diaper rash
If diaper rash is not treated on time, it can lead to fever and the rashes may spread to other parts of your baby’s skin as well.
How do Babies Get Diaper Rash?
There are many causes of diaper rash. Starting from your baby’s own urine to infection, some of the common culprits are:
1. Wetness
Even the best diapers leave behind some moisture on the skin. When this moisture mixes with the bacteria present in your baby’s stool, the stool breaks down and forms ammonia. Ammonia is a prime cause of these rashes. This is why babies who suffer from diarrhoea are more prone to diaper rashes. Babies who are left in soiled or wet diapers for too long are also likelier to get rashes.
2. Tight diapers
They can cause sweating and increase heat generation in your baby’s body. This, in turn, accentuates the pH level of your baby’s skin and makes it more susceptible to rashes. Friction with the diaper can make the situation worse.
3. Chemical Sensitivity and Chafing
The rubbing of the baby’s soft skin against the diaper may cause rashes. Also, if your baby skin is sensitive to chemicals such as the fragrances used in the case of some disposable diapers, there is further increase in the chance of developing rashes. Remains of laundry detergent in a cloth diaper can also be one of the causes of diaper rash. The chemicals in some baby wipes, baby powder and other products may be a potential reason for the rashes too.
4. New Foods
Diaper rash can also appear if you have introduced new foods into your baby’s diet or she has started solid food. The change of diet will also change the composition of your baby’s stool. The acid in certain fruits and fruit juices can cause rashes. The frequency of bowel movement can increase due to the changes in your baby’s food habits, leading to rashes. If you are still nursing your baby, there are also chances that the rashes can be a reaction to something you ate.
5. Yeast or Bacterial Infection
The skin under the diaper is warm and moist which acts as the perfect environment for bacteria and yeast to thrive. Bacteria and yeast can flourish easily there and more so inside the folds and of the baby’s skin.
6. Antibiotics
Is your baby on antibiotics? Or are you taking antibiotics and breastfeeding your child? At times, antibiotics kill the healthy bacteria that could fight the harmful ones, leading to a yeast infection.
Test and Exams
The diagnosis of diaper rash is based on physical examination of your baby’s rashes and the medical history. A lab test is not a necessity in most cases. However, if the doctor thinks that the rashes are your baby’s allergic reaction to an allergen, he may perform a skin test to know what the allergen is.
Treatment & Drugs for Diaper Rash in Babies
The procedure used for treatment depends on how serious the rashes are. If the rashes are mild, you will be able to treat the rashes yourself, by keeping the area clean and dry. Do make sure you pat the skin dry instead of rubbing as chafing may add to the problem.
In severe cases, the doctor may recommend the use of a nappy rash cream. Several ointments for diaper rash are available in the local pharmacy and are effective in curing the infection. Make sure to use one prescribed by a doctor. If the rashes are allergic reactions, the doctor may recommend anti-allergy drugs after conducting the skin test.
How To Prevent Diaper Rash?
Some ways to prevent diaper rash are:
Maintain dryness: It is important to keep your baby’s diaper area dry to prevent rashes.
Maintain hygiene: Make sure that your baby’s skin does not stay in contact with stool and urine for a long time. Change diapers as and when required and frequently check if it is soiled or wet. You might have to wake up at night to change diapers to prevent rashes. It is quite usual to change diapers 8 times in a day.
Clean right: Use warm water to clean your baby’s diaper area, and after cleaning, use a soft cloth to wipe the area. Use gentle baby soap only if the diaper was soiled. Avoid using baby wipes if your baby has a rash. Some wipes contain propylene glycol which is an alcohol and will burn your baby’s skin and cause the infection to spread.
Leave off diapers as much as possible: Give your baby enough ‘naked time’ so that his private areas can breathe free.
Choose the right diapers: Try and use diapers that offer maximum absorbency.
Introduce solids gradually: Introduce solid food one at a time, and wait for a few days in between before introducing the next one.
Wash the diapers well: If you are using cloth diapers, make sure you clean them properly. Use a mild and baby-friendly detergent to get rid of alkaline irritants.
When Should One Be Concerned About Diaper Rash?
The above treatment methods and drugs are usually sufficient to get rid of these rashes. The rashes should be gone within 3-4 days. However, make sure you visit the doctor if the rashes appear infected. Some things that you need to be cautious about are:
If the rashes start affecting the other parts of your baby’s body
If there is pus formation in the rashes
If your baby has fever
If the rashes become redder and worse
If there are open sores of yellow patches
If your baby is less than 6 weeks old
If the rashes are accompanied with diarrhoea which continues for more than 2 days
You do not need a doctor to treat mild diaper rash. Make sure you keep your baby’s bottom dry and clean.
Home Remedies for Diaper Rash
Some effective natural remedies for diaper rash can help relieve the symptoms associated with it. These involve the use of natural ingredients that are readily available.
1. Coconut Oil
This is one of the best natural treatments available for diaper rash. Massage the diaper area with coconut oil gently to get rid of the rashes.
2. Shea Butter
If your baby has sensitive skin, you can apply shea butter. This will keep her skin soft and also fight a yeast infection.
3. A Warm Bath
This helps soothe the itching and burning. Soak the area in a tub containing warm water containing 1 tbsp of baking soda. Do this thrice a day. This is recommended for babies whose umbilical cords have fallen off and who are above the age of 1-2 weeks.
Conclusion: Diaper rash is common among babies and is one of the most frequent challenges of parenting. Maintain hygiene, change diapers frequently, and provide enough air exposure to prevent these rashes. Read more

Genital Warts During Pregnancy - Signs, Diagnosis and Treatment
When you are pregnant, you can expect numerous conditions that may look extremely dangerous, other conditions can actually be dangerous and show no signs. These conditions manifest due to a much weaker immune system. One of the scariest looking problems women can face when they are pregnant is genital warts. This skin condition can be scary in general, when it is around the genital area that can make you worry, especially since you are pregnant and this could be harmful for your baby. Before you panic, it is important to understand what these warts are, what they mean and if they are in actual fact - dangerous.
What Are Genital Warts?
Genital warts are a very common skin condition that by itself is not dangerous. If you have it though, it is important to go to a doctor immediately as genital warts are the first sign of the human papillomavirus or HPV virus, this is a sexually transmitted disease commonly found in both men and women. It is so common that doctors estimate nearly 75% of people who are sexually active could possibly face this condition. HPV is often not diagnosed as it presents signs on rare occasions and often, it heals itself. The disease itself has numerous strains. This is why tests like a pap smear need to be done to diagnose if vaginal warts in pregnancy are in actual fact HPV. Most of the time HPV warts during pregnancy also manages to heal itself but in some strains, the disease is so dangerous that it is assumed to lead to cancer. This is why it is essential that you see a doctor as early as possible for the best treatment options.
How Common Is It?
As mentioned earlier, HPV is an extremely common form of sexually transmitted diseases, this STD can affect close to an estimated 75% of people who are sexually active. Most of the time, the strain of HPV is not dangerous or harmful but doctors have hypothesized that the HPV warts can alter skin cells to a large extent and this can lead to more serious strains of the disease or worse, it could transform into cancerous cells. During pregnancy, it is very common for genital warts, that are harmless, to appear. This is mostly due to a dormant strain of HPV that is developing due to the weakened immune system and the imbalance in your body’s hormones. It is important to get diagnosed early when you see these warts so that doctors can evaluate what kind of HPV you have and if it needs to be treated or if it poses any risk to either you or your baby.
What Are the Symptoms Of Genital Warts In Pregnancy?
The most common sign of these warts manifests as skin-coloured or dark lumps that are soft and usually tend to show up around the anus, vagina, cervix and in the rectum. Their size and shape can be different, most of these warts are painless but it is also common to experience itchiness, burning and burning from these warts.
How Is The Diagnosis Done?
The most common and possibly the quickest way to diagnose this condition is through a series of tests that include blood tests, a physical examination and a test known as a pap smear. The Pap smear is often used to identify abnormal skin cell changes in the cervix, usually used to find cancerous cells before they become dangerous and can be seen by the naked eye. While this test does not specifically identify HPV, it is a way of identifying the change of cells in the cervix that could become HPV. If the warts are undiagnosable through traditional means, doctors may request a biopsy to be done to diagnose warts, this can also be done to confirm the initial diagnosis.
For more information on this test and the other HPV test during pregnancy, contact your doctor.
How Are Genital Warts Treated while Pregnant?
When treating these warts, it is essential to understand what is safe and what isn’t before directly delving into how to get rid of genital warts while pregnant.
Safe Treatments
HPV infected genital warts are incurable but they can be managed, here is a list of safe treatments.
1. Topical Creams
Often, doctors prescribe topical creams to treat this condition before pregnancy, during pregnancy though make sure you revisit your doctor as some of these creams contain steroids that could complicate your pregnancy. During the pregnancy, doctors will prescribe specialized topical creams to help you manage and reduce the size of these warts.
2. Freezing The Warts
If your doctor believes these warts are getting too big and may cause complications to you during your pregnancy, they may use liquid nitrogen to freeze them and remove them safely, this is only if the warts become too big to manage however, it is more of a last resort and shouldn’t be attempted without a medical practitioner’s presence and clearance.
3. Surgery
Much like with the freezing of the warts, this is an extreme solution that doctors only recommend if the warts seem to be harming you or your pregnancy. Usually, these warts are not surgically removed during pregnancy beyond the first or in rare cases, the second trimester, this is because any surgery can be a strain on your body and could hamper your ability to deliver your child. If the doctor recommends surgery, it is usually because the warts are straining you to the extent that it can harm your baby’s birth.
4. Leave It Alone
Most often, HPV and genital warts flare up and ease out by themselves, the warts can be left alone to reduce by themselves without worry unless they are massive or they keep growing, most doctors will recommend leaving the warts alone and observing their growth. This is considered one of the best home remedies for genital warts while pregnant as it requires no strain on the body nor any medical application that could have side effects.
5. Lasers
A more commonly used procedure to help get rid of these warts is a laser surgery that burns off the excessively big warts, like with any other procedure, this one has risks but the risks are minimal. Doctors will recommend this only if the warts are too uncomfortable and you aren’t able to manage without having them removed.
6. Drugs
Currently, there are very few drugs that can treat these warts during pregnancy. Most drugs are used to treat warts pre-pregnancy or post pregnancy. If you were already diagnosed and prescribed a drug to treat this condition, do not use them without consulting your doctor after becoming pregnant. Most of the drugs used before and after pregnancy contain steroids that can harm your pregnancy. Pregnancy-safe drugs for the treatment of HPV warts can be hard to find and rare but they do exist and doctors will prescribe them to you based on the seriousness of the warts.
Unsafe Treatments
Here is a list of treatments that are not safe and shouldn’t be done under any circumstances.
Do not try popping these warts
Don’t use drugs not prescribed specifically by your doctor after becoming pregnant
Don’t use unauthorized drugs
Don’t use steroid based topical creams
Don’t use ice to get rid of these warts
Don’t, under any circumstances, try to cut off these warts
Don’t try peeling the skin off the warts
Don’t use any treatment that hasn’t been tested and has no proven record of safety by a regulatory authority in the medical field
Don’t use over the counter drugs without your doctor's clearance to treat these warts
Complications of Having Genital Warts during Pregnancy
It is extremely normal to wonder if there are any complications to your baby or you when you first notice genital warts, so here is a list of possible complications for both during pregnancy.
Risks for Mother
If you are wondering - do genital warts affect pregnancy? The answer is yes, in rare cases they doe. Here is how they affect pregnancy for the mother.
There is a tiny chance that you can pass the virus onto your baby, this is rare though.
The disease can lead to a more painful delivery of your child.
A weaker immune system due to the virus could lead to a strained delivery
Risks For Baby
In rare cases, there can be risks for the baby as well, here is a list of those risks.
A minuscule chance that the virus infects the baby during the pregnancy exists.
A very small chance of premature delivery exists.
The most likely risk is that the baby has a weaker immune system than normal children, this usually fixes itself as your baby grows but sometimes may require medical attention.
Giving Birth with Genital Warts
Giving birth with genital warts is almost the same as any other pregnancy, there is a slight rise in risks to the pregnancy compared to one that is completely healthy but in most cases the pregnancy can be normal, at times your doctor will do tests to see if your baby is also infected with this virus, this can happen on rare occasions. The most likely scenario for giving birth with these warts is a healthy delivery.
How To Avoid Getting Genital Warts
The most likely scenario is that you get these warts through unsafe sexual practices, the best bet for avoiding these warts is through safe sex. For this:
Use condoms while having sex to reduce the chances of spreading this condition or getting this condition
Have your partner tested when attempting to get pregnant
Get routine HPV tests regularly
Try to only have sex with people you know well and trust.
HPV is contagious, if you are diagnosed with this condition, please inform the person you may have sexual intercourse with and use safe sex methods to ensure it isn’t spread. It is essential that you get diagnosed as soon as possible when you see genital warts during your pregnancy. Consult your doctor for any further information and never self-medicate to treat this condition.

Tramadol in Pregnancy - Complications and Precautions to Follow
Most medicines that mothers take during pregnancy will cross the placenta and reach their babies. This can sometimes be beneficial to the child, but not always; there are some medications that can be quite harmful to your baby’s growth and development. It really depends on the type of medication prescribed and at what stage of pregnancy a woman is at. All the changes in the body that take place during pregnancy are bound to cause a lot of stress, and everyone already knows that hormonal changes often bring with them unwanted aches and pains. This is why some women would rather be on some kind of medication for the pain rather than not have anything at all. Tramadol is used to treat pain in some situations.
What is Tramadol (Ultram)
Moderate to severe pain during pregnancy can be treated by Tramadol, a medication that works by affecting the balance of mood chemicals in the brain. This is often prescribed to patients who are suffering from an injury or when recovering from surgery. Sometimes it is used as a recreational drug, but in doses much higher than that required when it is only used as a painkiller.
Why Do Pregnant Women Require Pain Medication
During pregnancy, the body undergoes physiological and hormonal irregularities that result in different symptoms. Sometimes the symptoms are trivial and do not require any kind of pain medication, but there are also times when the pain is quite severe, and it requires some kind of action. Here are some reasons why pregnant women may need to take something for the pain:
The diameter of blood vessels changes due to the hormonal changes during pregnancy and results in headaches and migraines. The intensity of these can vary, but they have been known to be severe enough to warrant some kind of medication for relief.
Pressure on the spine caused by your expanding foetus can result in backaches that can sometimes become unbearable. Those who are carrying multiples will find this especially relevant in their case.
The stability and strength of the ligaments changes as the body tries to prepare the pelvis for delivery. This results in a lot of pelvic pain that may sometimes require medication.
Your lower limbs have had to deal with a lot of extra weight, and this causes pain from all the nerves and ligaments that have been bearing the strain of your baby’s additional weight.
Is Tramadol Safe in Pregnancy
Though there are some medications out there with more serious side effects of dependency due to their higher opioid content, Tramadol is also known to cause addiction and neonatal dependency on the drug. A change in the diameter of the umbilical vessels is caused due to the painkillers, and this will have an effect on the flow of blood to your baby. This is why it is best to stay away from painkillers in general during your pregnancy unless you have no choice but to take them.
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) in particular are known to cause this problem. If the blood flow is restricted, your baby will not get enough nutrition, which will either result in restrictions in growth and in extreme and unfortunate cases, the death of the child.
So, can you take tramadol while pregnant? Only if prescribed by your doctor when there is no other choice. It is best to stay away from it as it is not considered safe due to lack of proper study. In tests done on animals, it showed that Tramadol has the possibility of causing moderate to severe damage in the foetus. Respiratory depression and collapse in the foetus is a very serious threat, and so the use of Tramadol is strictly forbidden during delivery.
What If a Pregnant Woman has Already Taken Ultram In Pregnancy
If you have taken Tramadol, let your doctor know about it and so that you can get the proper advice on how to go about it from there. If at all your doctor feels you need it, the smallest possible dose will be prescribed to you. But most doctors will prescribe something that is less harmful. If you take them frequently and you want to stop, it is not advised that you stop taking it cold turkey. Instead, bring this to your doctor’s attention so that you can get professional help in weaning yourself off the drug without incurring the sudden withdrawal symptoms that can take place from such a sudden action. If the drug is stopped cold turkey, you are likely to experience irritation, anxiety or panic, diarrhoea, chills, hallucinations and so much more.
Complications & Side Effects of Taking Tramadol during Pregnancy
Here are some of the complications or side effects associated with taking Tramadol during pregnancy:
1. Easily Abused
The central nervous system responds to pain differently because Tramadol changes this aspect, making it very easy to abuse the drug.
2. Maternal and Foetal Addiction
Due to the potent and opioid components in this drug, it is addictive in nature, something that is very dangerous for babies. If this drug is used consistently, there is a high chance that babies will become dependent on it. Even after the drug is discontinued, babies will still experience withdrawal symptoms one month after birth. Babies can also experience birth defects or premature births. A few other symptoms include irritability, jitteriness, seizures and abnormal muscular activity.
3. Dangerous Combos
If this drug is mixed with other medication it may cause uncontrollable shaking and seizures can result.
4. Simply Problematic
Even when taken in the correct dose, Tramadol has been known to cause side effects such as abdominal pain, itchiness and rashes, joint pains, depression, severe headaches, nausea and more.
5. Learning and Behavioural Problems
Your baby’s brain is developing even until the end of your pregnancy. Taking medications during your pregnancy can have lasting effects on your child’s learning and behaviour.
6. Tramadol and Breastfeeding
Like some other medications, Tramadol can be transferred into the breast milk. If babies consume too much of it through breast milk, they are likely to show signs of increased sleepiness, sedation, difficulty breastfeeding, difficulty breathing and limpness, and will need to see an expert.
Precautions to Follow While Taking Tramadol
If you do need to take this drug for some reason, keep the following precautions in mind:
It is not meant to be used along with MAO inhibitors.
Avoid alcohol during treatment.
When it comes to patients who suffer from drug dependence, central genesis, liver dysfunctions and increased sensitivity to opioid components, treatments with this drug should be avoided.
Avoid it for treatment of narcotic withdrawal syndrome.
It should not be used for more than the specific amount of time needed as prolonged use can cause dependency on the drug.
It should not be used for children under 14.
FAQs
Here are some frequently asked questions:
1. Will baby require extra monitoring during pregnancy or after delivery?
At around twenty weeks, most women are offered scans as a part of their antenatal care. Here they will check for birth defects in the baby. Though using Tramadol is not actually expected to cause any problems that would require the need for extra monitoring, those who need to take the drug for a particular medical condition are watched more closely so that you can be sure that your baby is growing and developing the correct way. Women who tend to use the drug for recreational purposes are watched even more closely. Those women who have had to take Tramadol during their late pregnancy will have babies who will need to be kept for observation after birth for any kind of signs of withdrawal.
2. Does it affect the baby's health if the father has taken Tramadol?
So far we have seen how tramadol and pregnancy go together from the maternal side. Though there has been no study dedicated to investigating what the effects of Tramadol in the father have on the unborn child, most experts say that it is not likely that the drug can cause any harm to the baby through the sperm. More study in this area is needed, especially on the effects the drug has if the father takes it at the time of conception.
Always keep a record of any medications you take so that you can inform your doctor about them if and when needed. If you have any need to see a doctor for your own health, make sure that the doctor knows that you are pregnant so that this can be taken into consideration when medication is being prescribed for you.
Being prescribed medication like Tramadol, something that has been known to cause some unpleasant side effects, you will have to examine the benefits and disadvantages before deciding on whether it is worth taking the risk. How medications affect your baby is important, and you need to be very careful about what medication you decide to put into your body.

Fitness Ideas: Helping your Child Play, Learn and Grow

Encouraging children to do some physical activity each day, helps them to become healthy and sets the foundation for good and healthy habits, that lasts a lifetime.
Physical activities are a very important part of play and learning, and vital for the growth and development of a child. Children are naturally very active and love to move a lot. Small babies start moving their bodies by three to four months of age and start hand and leg movements. Soon, they learn to crawl and eventually walk. As toddlers, children love to move around here and there, jump, climb and dance. However, they exhibit more structured and vigorous physical movement when they grow into preteens. This in turn, helps them stay fit and stay away from lethargy. Unfortunately, the recent lifestyles have caused children to dedicate more time to television, computer and gadgets. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that your preteen moves enough for a day and stays fit.
Importance of Physical Activity for Children
Children love to play and explore things around. Involving them in games, which involves some physical activities, benefits them not only in the present but also for the future. The various benefits of physical activity are:
Healthy heart and lungs

Becomes co-operative
Appropriate Physical Activity and Play Ideas for Children
Physical exercise may not necessarily mean strenuous exercise. The child must not have to be playing any organized sport or do any kind of workout. Playing free outdoor games with the help of some simple outdoor play equipments and spending time in the park and going out for walks are equally beneficial.
Simple physical activities and play ideas can include:
Walking or riding a bicycle to school, rather than taking a bus or a car.
Taking pets out for walk and play.
Playing in the park and playgrounds instead of video games.
Playing games like tag, run and chase, hide and seek, in the backyard.

Swimming is a great way to stay fit. Make your kid join swimming classes and pick up some interesting swimming accessories. You can also reserve weekends for family swimming time.
Making your child get involved in physical activity is thrilling and filled with a lot of fun, not only for the child, but the entire family. So, make sure he follows a regime where there is less of television or video games and more of physical movement. Read more
