Rash

Opinions often change about washing diapers and advice still varies per seller, supplier and even per country. A few years ago, the standard advice was to use as little detergent as possible. Preferably only a quarter of the recommended amount. After all, you didn't want a build-up of soap residue in your diapers. Fortunately, that advice is now obsolete. Because what you want even less than a soap build-up is a build-up of old urine residue.

Rashes in the diaper area of young children are unfortunately quite common. Sometimes it is relatively harmless red skin, sometimes it is red pimples and sometimes your child's bottom is completely broken. A rash in the diaper area, just like a rash elsewhere, can have many causes.
