How do you know if your newborn has diaper rash? The most common sign is irritation, inflammation and redness in the genital region, particularly in the folds of the legs and on the buttocks, though it may spread to the stomach.

The affected area sometimes will look bumpy or appear to have a rash of pimples. It is important that diaper rash is treated right away because it can grow into a hard to beat yeast or bacterial infection if left too long.
