Julia WagnerFor very little effort, the rewards are priceless.
Babies normally wear nappies every day, even at night while asleep. Something that is of great help to parents can have unpleasant consequences for the baby. The baby’s bum is frequently reddened and itchy, and weeping wounds may occur. This is known as nappy rash.
Effective, but nevertheless nurturing, our Dentinox® zinc ointment can provide a remedy to nappy rash. The active ingredient, zinc oxide, has a mildly disinfectant effect and quickly promotes wound healing. In addition, the ointment absorbs the moisture from weeping wounds, is not absorbed and protects the skin from moisture from the outside (urine) with a film of ointment.Product benefits:
- Good adhesion of the ointment
- Especially skin tolerant
- Almost invisible once it has been rubbed on
- Without preservatives
Areas of application:
Dentinox zinc ointment against nappy rash is applied to the skin. To promote wound healing, even in the case of weeping or itching wounds, fissures; use as a covering ointment. Contains cetylstearyl alcohol and wool wax alcohols. For risks and side effects, please read the package leaflet and ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Zinc oxide – applied externally – is used to treat non-weeping, uninfected skin damage associated with redness, itchiness or pain. These include, among other things, superficial skin injuries, skin rashes, chickenpox, hives, first-degree burns and skin irritations from nappy rash in infants and toddlers. Zinc oxide promotes the closing of the wound, improves wound healing and has an antibiotic effect on bacteria. The contracting effect of the zinc seals the surface of the wound and reduces secretion from the wound.
Nappy rash cannot always be prevented, but there are ways and means of impeding it. For example, you can safely change nappies more frequently and once in a while let the air get to your baby’s skin for a little longer. That causes the skin to relax and contributes to its own healing process.

Should your baby frequently suffer from an irritated bum despite all the good care, switching the brand of nappies or even changing over to cotton nappies might help. These are more permeable to air than disposable nappies and are thus skin-friendlier. But watch out: they are also more likely to leak!
Tanja EsserThe choice of the right nappy depends on the individual needs of your child and varies from case to case.
