Hello and welcome to Pharmacy for Me, your go-to platform for evidence based best practice pharmacy advice for common kid’s presentations to pharmacies. I’m Katie Magee, a registered pharmacist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Authority, and I bring you this series of episodes to help assist your decision making in managing and treating your little ones if they become unwell and need professional advice.

Episode 5 navigates the topic of nappy rash, with topics discussed to include what nappy rash might look like and what you may expect to see if it worsens or develops into something else. How you can maybe reduce the risk of a child getting nappy rash, including things you can do from home. There are things to avoid that and that could worsen the rash. Treatment options available are discussed, and when to seek further medical attention.
