: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.
Yeast diaper rash, or candidal dermatitis, is an infectious type of diaper rash. Many people may be unaware of the difference between a diaper rash versus yeast infection. Yeast is normally found on the skin of all humans and tends to be more heavily concentrated in moist areas. If the skin breaks even a tiny bit, these fungal invaders could get in there and develop into an infection. The most common type of yeast that causes a diaper rash is Candida albicans.
