- Immediate Steps to Take: If your baby develops any rash, irritation, redness, or signs of a burn after using a diaper, immediately remove the diaper and discontinue use of that product line. Seek prompt medical attention from a pediatrician or healthcare provider. Keep the affected diaper, if possible, as it may be needed for investigation.
