:shifty. I notice the smell of rancid body oils in sheets. I sometimes can smell it in the houses I visit. Sometimes it is severe and very unpleasant. At one friend's house I would have to walk by her bedroom to use the bathroom and the smell really was strong to me.
Yeast is by far the most common type of organism found in a diaper rash. The organism is quite prevalent and thrives on warm, moist skin. Yeast involvement should be suspected in any diaper rash that hasn't improved dramatically with 72 hours of appropriate therapy.
Rashes in infants and young children are not usually serious and can have various causes. Some common rashes in infants and young children include the following. Diaper rash (diaper dermatitis) is a bright red rash caused by irritation from prolonged skin contact with urine or stool anywhere beneath a child's diaper. Typically, the areas of the skin that touch the diaper are most affected. Diaper rash can also be caused by infection with the fungus Candida, typically causing a bright red rash in the creases of the skin and small red spots. Less often, diaper rash is caused by bacteria.
