Abstract: The etiology of diaper dermatitis is complicated; it may be a subtype of irritating contact dermatitis. Prolonged skin contact with feces as the primary cause and urine as the secondary cause leads to the development of this type of dermatitis in diaper-covered areas. There are several contributing elements to the pathophysiology. An erythematous rash, papules, scaling, and erosions around the thigh, scrotum, suprapubic region, and buttocks—typically where skin folds are found—are the hallmarks of diaper dermatitis.
