Most infants who wear diapers are most likely to have diaper dermatitis. Although diaper dermatitis is not a life-threatening condition, it is important to know the factors and principles of proper skin care to avoid possible complications. The assessment of the risk of skin damage in infants is one of the basic conditions of preventive activities leading to healthy infants‘ skin. The assessment of the risk of damaging the skin of infants is also a necessary part of the assessment of the effectiveness of interventions performed in infants with already damaged skin. The suitability of the means to assess the risk of damaging infant skin was addressed in a pilot survey.
