Yeast diaper rash, or candidal dermatitis, is an infectious type of diaper rash. If your baby's rash has become infected, 9 times out of 10, it has become a yeast diaper rash. This type of rash can be particularly irritating and difficult to tackle.
A tiny amount of yeast is normally found on the skin of all humans. It tends to be more heavily concentrated in moist areas, such as the inside of a diaper. The overgrowth of yeast is a fairly common result of a simple diaper rash that has gotten worse due to lack of treatment or the rash not responding well to the applied treatment(s). Going from a simple diaper rash to a diaper rash with a yeast infection can happen within a few days.
