• What can my grandmother do about diaper rash?

My grandmother started to wear diapers for her incontinence (her doctor recommended it), and now she has a rash from wearing them. What's the best way to get rid of the rash?

Any of the barrier creams (A & D ointment) should help.

The rash may be due to several factors including ph of the urine, humidity, contact allergy, or yeast infection; she should be checked by a physician to establish the correct diagnosis and treatment.
