Diaper Rash
Diaper Rash is a very common condition that can cause the skin covered by a diaper to become sore, red, scaly, and tender. The rash usually occurs because the skin is irritated by soiled diapers that are left on for too long; friction from the diaper; or certain brands of detergent, soaps, or wipes on sensitive skin. The plastic that prevents diapers from leaking also prevents air circulation, thus creating a warm, moist environment where rashes (skin problems) and yeast (a fungus called Candida albicans) can thrive. A rash caused by yeast is usually red, slightly raised (rash bumps), and has small red dots extending beyond the main part of the rash. It often starts in the creases of skin and can spread to skin on the front and back.
Diaper rash usually can be cleared up by checking the diaper often and changing it as soon as it is wet or soiled. Amerigel® Barrier Lotion will help soothe skin irritation and shield the skin from moisture exposure. Amerigel® Barrier Lotion contains two essential ingredients in its formulation which are superior to ordinary thick, messy, greasy zinc ointments which have to be rubbed off and further irritate the tender skin. The dimethicone in Amerigel® Barrier Lotion will shield the skin from damage due to exposure to excess moisture and feces (stool, bowel movement). Dimethicone also lubricates the skin to prevent friction from the diaper or skin rubbing against skin. The second ingredient, Oakin® ,will combat and prevent infection, like yeast. Amerigel® Barrier Lotion also contains lemon oil (citric acid) to provide a light, fresh, clean citrus scent. Gently wash the affected area during every diaper change and re-apply Amerigel® Barrier Lotion
After the diaper rash is healed, continue using Amerigel® Barrier Lotion in daily to keep the skin healthy and protected from another rash. If any skin treatment does not clear up the rash and the symptoms continue, see your healthcare provider or dermatologist. Any type of rash on skin that does not go away can get worse and possibly infected. Protect your skin with Amerigel® Barrier Lotion and soothe away your skin problem. It has an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee so don’t hesitate to try it because you have nothing to lose and relief will be on its way.
Thank you for Amerigel products! As a caregiver I have used Amerigel Care lotion to prevent patients’ red, irritated skin from developing into a bed sore. The Amerigel Barrier lotion is equally effective and keeps incontinent patients comfortable. I have discarded several other medications and creams, replacing them with your terrific products. They’re a real plus to caregiving.
