What does a urine rash look like?
In those with lighter skin, IAD appears initially as erythema which ranges from pink to red shades. In patients with darker skin tones, the skin may become paler, darker, purple, dark red or yellow. The affected area often has poorly defined edges and you should look out for patches over large areas.
