If the basic nappy/diaper rash isn't treated, it can grow into something worse — for example, a fungal infection, such as yeast, or a bacterial infection. Yeast infections are more common in babies taking antibiotics (these drugs kill the "good" internal bacteria that normally keep yeast in check) and typically begin as tiny red spots which multiply and mass into a solid red blotch. Bacterial infections, which can be accompanied by fever, usually cause oozing yellow patches or pus-filled pimples.

Nappy rash is most commonly caused by the baby wearing wet soiled nappies for an extended period of time. The urine and faeces break down and release ammonia which in turn is reabsorbed into the skin.

This is a very common complaint that affects all babies at sometime or another, especially those with, skin problems like infantile eczema, psoriasis, and also sensitive skin. Baby might also have a reaction to certain chemicals such as detergents, soaps and baby wipes. If not treated, nappy rash can become sever and infected with bacteria or fungi.
