چکیده
Background: Diaper rash is a common but non life threatening condition during infancy. Different modalities of treatment are suggested.

Promising reports of the effect of topical sucralfate on wound epithelialization along with its bacteriostatic properties led us to carry out a trial to evaluate its role as a topical agent in the treatment of diaper dermatitis and compare its efficacy with topical zinc oxide.
