10 Home Remedies For Diaper Rash
Home Remedy #4: Vinegar
Vinegar is a solution that contains about 5 to 20 percent of acetic acid. This acetic acid can be produced through fermentation of sugars or ethanol by acetic acid bacteria. There are various types of vinegar. It also has many uses such as in culinary arts, as a cleaning product, pesticide, and in folk medicine.
For many years, vinegar has been thought to help individuals with weight loss, diabetes, cancer, and as a probiotic. Some parents also use it as a home remedy for diaper rash. This can be done by mixing one teaspoon of white vinegar with one cup of water and cleaning the affected area whenever needed. Reusable diapers can also be rinsed in a mixture of vinegar and water as it helps neutralizes the urine that is alkaline in nature. This ensures that the skin is in contact with balanced pH levels.
