Diaper rash: causes, prevention, and treatment with gentle ingredients
Diaper rash, also known as irritant dermatitis, is very common in newborns and infants.
They manifest themselves with redness, heat, and sometimes cracking in the areas in contact with the diaper. A correct daily approach, combined with non-aggressive and non-occlusive products, can prevent and treat these discomforts very effectively.
🔎 Most common causes
Prolonged contact with urine and feces
Moisture retained by the diaper
Mechanical friction or diapers that are too tight
Too scented detergents or wipes
Introduction of new foods (weaning)
🧼 How to prevent redness
Change diapers often (at least every 3 hours)
Cleanse gently with warm water or specific cleansers for sensitive skin
Dry your skin well by dabbing, never rubbing.
Let your skin breathe with a few minutes without a diaper
Apply a non-occlusive soothing cream with skin-friendly ingredients
🌱 The ingredients we use (zinc-free)
Unlike many products on the market, Silvana formulations do not contain zinc oxide .
We prefer a gentler approach, which does not involve the application of metals to broken or irritated skin.
Alternatively, we use natural and physiological active ingredients such as:
Allantoin : soothing, repairing, accelerates skin regeneration
Hyaluronic acid : maintains hydration and promotes the skin barrier
Calendula : anti-inflammatory and regenerating
Colloidal oatmeal : calming and rebalancing
⚠️ When is it appropriate to contact the pediatrician?
If redness does not improve after 2–3 days of treatment
If blisters or crusts appear
If the child is irritable or has a fever
