Nappy rash (also known as diaper rash) occurs when the skin is exposed to a wet or dirty nappy for too long. Most cases can be treated at home.

Croup is a relatively common ailment of childhood, which is very contagious. It affects children between three months and six years old and normally lasts 5-6 days. The characteristic barking cough is due to the noise made by the air passing through the constricted airways and over the inflamed vocal cords.
