What does diaper rash look like in adults?

Overview. Diaper rash can affect anyone wearing diapers or incontinence briefs, including adults, babies, and toddlers. Symptoms in adults are the same as symptoms seen in babies and toddlers, and may include a pink-to-red colored rash, or peeling or irritated looking skin.

Can adults use Desitin for rash?

DESITIN® Multipurpose Healing Ointment has many uses for infants, kids, and adults. It instantly relieves irritated skin and prevents and treats diaper rash.

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.

Which is better Balmex or Desitin?

Maximum strength has a whopping 40% zinc oxide, beating out Balmex and other zinc oxide options. Based on reader feedback, Desitin is probably a best bet to use when things are getting out of hand (moderate to severe, for example).
