Abstract
The review provides current data on terminology, prevalence, etiopathogenesis, clinic and differential diagnosis of diaper dermatitis (DD). Particular attention is paid to approaches to the prevention and treatment of DD. Modern emollients and moisturisers, production technologies and possibilities of superabsorbing diapers have made it possible to significantly facilitate skin care for newborns and infants, and reduce the frequency and severity of the clinical manifestations of this disease. The key to successful prevention of DD is raising parents’ awareness and teaching them how to care for their baby’s skin.
