Candidiasis
Candidiasis is a type of fungal infection that thrives in warm and moist environments. It may sometimes be the cause of red rashes under diapers in infants. Small bumps filled with pus are frequently seen beside the red rashes. A topical anti-fungal cream, together with skin hygiene and frequent diaper changes, can usually eliminate the condition.
