Y1 - 2016 N1 - T2 - Color Atlas & Synopsis of Pediatric Dermatology, 3e AB - Diaper dermatitis generally refers to the irritant contact dermatitis that may result from multiple factors in the area: macerated skin (softened by being wet), rubbing and wiping, and possibly the presence of ammonia in urine and proteases and lipases in stool—all of which cause skin irritation and breakdown. It can become complicated by secondary bacterial or yeast infections as well.
