Signs and Symptoms
Diaper rash is usually limited to any area that is covered by a diaper. The area of skin covered by the diaper will appear red and irritated, with the exception of the skin's creases, which are generally not affected by diaper rash. Redness may be especially severe where the skin meets the edges of the diaper.
