Diaper allergy in medical terms refers to diaper dermatitis, in which the patient will have localized skin symptoms such as pimples, erythema, and blisters.
Diaper dermatitis is a limited dermatitis that occurs in the area of the diaper, in which the patient develops localized symptoms such as pimples, erythema, and blisters, accompanied by skin eruptions and fluid exudation. If the condition worsens, the skin may also develop widespread erythema, vesicles, and ulcers.
If a secondary bacterial infection occurs, the skin symptoms worsen and may include a purulent discharge, vesicles, ulcers, and pustules. They are most commonly seen in locations where the diaper touches the skin, such as the buttocks, genitals, and lower abdomen.
If the above symptoms occur, diaper dermatitis is considered, and it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination and clear diagnosis.
