Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Napkin dermatosis, commonly referred to as diaper rash or napkin dermatitis, is a frequent inflammatory skin condition affecting the diaper area of infants and young children, particularly under three years of age \[1,2\]. It is characterized by erythematous macules, papules, and sometimes erosions or secondary infections. Prevalence rates vary between 4% and 35%, with peak incidence between 8 and 12 months \[1-3\].Multiple factors contribute to its development, including prolonged exposure to moisture, urine, and feces, which compromise the skin barrier and increase susceptibility to irritants and infections. Interaction of urine with skin bacteria produces ammonia, raising skin pH and promoting irritation \[4,5\]. Introduction of solid foods can further exacerbate inflammation, and secondary infections, particularly by Candida albicans, may complicate the clinical course \[6,7\].Caregivers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices are critical in preventing and managing napkin dermatosis. Frequent diaper changes, use of barrier creams, and avoiding irritant products significantly reduce its risk \[8-9\].Parental knowledge and awareness about proper diaper care, prevention strategies, and early recognition of complications play a pivotal role in reducing the incidence and severity of napkin dermatosis \[7\]. However, evidence suggests that parental awareness and adherence to recommended practices vary widely, especially in regions lacking structured educational programs \[10,11\].the rationale for this study is to assess Parental knowledge, attitudes, and practices, and describe the patterns of napkin dermatosis among children attending Assiut University Hospitals, ultimately improving child health and parental care behaviors.
