Study: Baby Wipes May Cause Skin Problems

(NECN) - Are baby wipes responsible for causing diaper rash in some kids?

For more on the subject we were joined by Doctor Maryanne Makredes Sennac from Massachusetts General Hospital.

She said that a recent study shows that a chemical contained in baby wipes can lead to skin problems.

She recommended that parents check to see if baby wipes contain isothia zolones.

Sennac said the best alternative is to use a gentle washcloth at home.
