Before dealing with nappy rash, first examine the cause. Simple precautions such as frequent changing of the nappy, cleaning the skin and applying a water-repellent barrier cream can prevent some types of nappy rash from occurring. Creams and ointments for nappy rash contain a variety of ingredients such as emollients, water-repellents, antiseptics, astringents and anti-inflammatory agents. Nappy rash caused by Candida (thrush) needs to be treated with specific antifungals, eg clotrimazole, nystatin, miconazole. Rashes which do not settle or which recur frequently should be referred to a doctor for further investigation and treatment.
在处理尿布疹之前，首先要检查病因。一些简单的预防措施，如经常更换尿布、清洁皮肤以及涂抹防水隔离霜，可以预防某些类型的尿布疹。治疗尿布疹的乳膏和软膏含有多种成分，如润肤剂、防水剂、防腐剂、收敛剂和抗炎剂。由念珠菌（鹅口疮）引起的尿布疹需要用特定的抗真菌药治疗，如克霉唑、制霉菌素、咪康唑。皮疹若未消退或频繁复发，应转诊给医生做进一步检查和治疗。
