2... Candida albicans is frequently the underlying cause of severe diaper rash. When a primary or secondary infection with Candida albicans occurs, the rash has bright red scaly plaques with sharp margins. Small papules and pustules may be seen, along with satellite lesions. Even though diaper dermatitis can be caused by impetigo, urine and feces, and infrequent diapering, the lesions and persistent characteristics are common for Candida.
