Diaper rash in adults
Diaper rash isn’t just a problem for infants—it’s also quite common in adults. You might think that diaper rash only occurs in the diaper area in children, but it can appear anywhere on your body. It’s characterized by skin irritation in areas where friction and moisture build up. There are several causes.
Causes of diaper rash in adults
Among the most common causes of heat rash in adults are heat and sweating, which increase skin moisture and weaken its natural protective function. Skin-to-skin friction is also a significant risk factor, occurring mainly when walking, exercising, or wearing inappropriate clothing.
Being overweight or obese leads to a greater number of skin folds, which is associated with skin friction and thus a higher risk of irritation and inflammation in these areas. Another common cause is wearing tight and non-breathable clothing, especially made of synthetic materials that trap heat and moisture.
Diaper rash can also be exacerbated by poor hygiene or excessive skin moisture. People with diabetes or weakened immune systems are also at increased risk of diaper rash, and they are more likely to develop secondary infections.
The most common causes of diaper rash
In adults, heat rash most commonly appears in the armpits, under the breasts, in the groin, and in the inner thighs.
Skin folds on the abdomen, especially in overweight individuals, as well as the genital and buttock areas, are also prone to problems. Another common site is the spaces between the toes, where moisture lingers the longest and the skin is susceptible to irritation or infection.
