Diaper dermatitis (Ahiputana) is a widespread skin problem among the neonatal population that is often caused by irritants that promote skin breakdown, such as moisture and fecal enzymes. The disease predominantly affects the convex surfaces in closest contact with wet or soiled diapers. The skin becomes erythematous and scaly with papulovesicular fissures and erosions leading to marked discomfort. It is a known fact that children are easily susceptible to infections and any prescription written towards this population must be well planned to avoid any unwanted side effects. Diaper dermatitis is commonly managed using drugs such as zinc oxide, nystatin etc., that may lead to certain adverse effects such as dermatitises or itching
