All About A Nappy Rash
Nappy rash is a common skin condition that affects babies and toddlers, which can make them feel uncomfortable and distressed. It happens when your baby is wearing a nappy, as their sensitive skin can be irritated by the nappy rubbing against their skin, or if the nappy is not changed often enough. It can also happen if the baby's skin is irritated by soaps, detergents, or alcohol-based baby wipes. Some of the most common symptoms of baby wipes include:
Red patches or widespread redness
Soreness
Skin feels hot to touch
Spots or pimples
Blisters

How can this product help protect my baby’s skin?
Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment works by forming a protective layer over your baby’s skin, protecting from irritation and rubbing that can happen as your baby wears a nappy. This ointment contains Pro Vitamin B5, that helps to hydrate sensitive skin by sealing in moisture, gently moisturising the skin and aiding its natural recovery.
