: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.
Diapers were a wonderful invention, controlling infants' waste products in a relatively convenient, clean, and healthy way. Still, ever since children began to wear diapers, diaper rash has been the most common skin disorder of infancy. Skin wetness is the common denominator underlying the various causes of diaper rash. Urinary wetness increases skin friction, raises the skin pH, makes the skin less cohesive, and makes it more permeable.
