Diaper Dermatitis (DD) is the most common skin disease in infants and children, and may cause problems such as restless, pain and sleep disorders. Stress can also develop on parents and caregivers due to their child’s restlessness and illness. It is important to know the clinical findings of DD and to treat the disease before it progresses. In this review, factors, clinical findings, diagnosis, complications, prevention measurement and new treatment methods in DD was evaluated. Alternative treatment methods and treatment strategies are being developed for DD as a result of advances in technology and medicine. Protective and preventive methods are the first approach strategy in DD, and we think that it will be effective to provide training to parents before and after birth.
