| dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Diaper dermatitis is an inflammation of the skin under the diapers of children, and is relatively common. The disease is seen in children and adolescents with a degree of urinary incontinence. The aim of this study is to replace uncomplicated herbal medicines in the treatment of this disease instead of chemical drugs. Materials and Methods: This is a randomized, double-blind, clinical trial that was performed on 90 children under 2 years of age who were referred to the Pediatric Department of Tabriz Pediatric Hospital and who used diapers. The children were randomly divided into three groups of 30, and formed a routine group and two other groups, with routine ointment and chamomile and Aloe Vera Ointment. Sampling was performed on the first, third and sixth days of the study using a five point scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 22) and descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: According to the statistical results, the severity of dermatitis in all three groups improved during the study on the sixth day compared to the first day, but there was no significant difference in the severity of diaper dermatitis between the three groups during the study period. (P>0.05) Conclusion: Regarding the treatment process in all three groups and having positive results in the treatment of dermatitis, the three groups of drugs were effective in treatment, but they were not superior to each other. But due to the lower side effects of herbal medicine, its use is recommended to treat this condition. | |
