10 Home Remedies For Diaper Rash
Home Remedy #7: Petroleum Jelly
Petroleum jelly is a semi-solid mixture that is promoted as a topical ointment for various ailments and cosmetic purposes. Its uses include being beneficial for genital rashes, nail fungus, diaper rash, nosebleeds, and chest colds. In folk medicine, it is thought of as a “cure all.” However, better scientific evidence has shown little to no evidence of its “cure all” properties.
Petroleum jelly can be beneficial as a sunscreen or helps keep the skin moist to reduce skin scarring. It is especially effective to prevent moisture loss on hands or lips and soften cuticles. It can also be used as a home remedy for diaper rash by applying a thin layer to the affected area, as it protects the area from urine and feces. The regular use of petroleum jelly and diaper changes may yield a rapid improvement from the diaper rash.
