Common Illnesses That Kids Get

8.      Diaper Rash

Ugh, diaper rash. Every kid gets a little diaper rash here and there. Whether it can truly be considered an illness is debatable, but it is very common amongst babies and there is treatment that can help. All kids wear diapers and the rash appears as a rough red mark on your child’s bottom. It usually happens if they aren’t cleaned well enough or if they get some moisture in there. It can also become infected, like with yeast or fungus.

To avoid it, make sure the kids always have a clean diaper on. Be gentle with them, but clean well after poops. Spread some Vaseline or buttpaste on their bottom after changing These are just some of the ways to keep them rash-free. If the rash isn’t tended to, a skin infection can really get bad and a doctor may be needed.
