: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.
It can involve almost any skin on the body, but most often it occurs in warm, moist, creased areas such as the armpits and groin. The fungus that most often causes cutaneous candidiasis is Candida albicans. Candida is the most common cause of diaper rash in infants.
