Dermatitis del pañal - Symptom

Nombres alternativos

Dermatitis del pañal relacionada con cándida; Cándida y dermatitis del pañal; Pañalitis

Síntomas:

Usted puede notar lo siguiente en el área del pañal de su hijo:

  • Salpullido o brote de color rojo brillante que se vuelve más grande
  • Áreas descamativas de color rojo vivo en el escroto y el pene en los niños
  • Áreas descamativas o rojas en los labios y la vagina en las niñas
  • Granos, ampollas, úlceras, protuberancias grandes o llagas llenas de pus
  • Parches rojos más pequeños (llamados lesiones satélites) que crecen y se mezclan con otros parches

Los bebés más grandes se pueden rascar cuando les quitan el pañal

La dermatitis del pañal por lo general NO se disemina más allá del borde de éste.

Pruebas y exámenes:

La dermatitis del pañal relacionada con hongos o cándida con frecuencia se puede diagnosticar sólo con su apariencia. El examen de hidróxido de potasio (KOH) puede confirmar un diagnóstico de cándida
