A skin reaction to urine and faeces in the nappy is the most common cause of nappy rash. If this is the case frequent nappy changes are needed and a gentle skin-healing, anti-bacterial wash such as cooled Chamomile Tea should be used alongside other soothing remedies such as Weleda Nappy Cream, Chamomile Cream, or Healing Cream. Sometimes there may be a reaction to chemicals contained within disposable nappies (this is known as contact or irritant dermatitis). The use of washable nappies of course avoids this risk and is generally healthier, otherwise a change to the make of the nappy may clear up the problem and in the meantime Borage Cream should be used as it is wonderfully anti-inflammatory.
