Diaper dermatitis, one of infants' most common health problems, can be treated with various methods. One of these methods is breast milk. Studies show that breast milk is a non-harmful, accessible and effective product in the healing of dermatitis. This study was planned to be a randomized, controlled, and single-blinded study to evaluate the effect of breast milk and diaper rash cream containing Hamamelis virginiana (potency 12mg/100g) 5.35 g/100g on the healing process in 0-12-month-old infants with diaper dermatitis. The population of the study consisted of 0-12 months old infants with diaper dermatitis who applied to the Pediatrics Outpatient Clinic of X Hospital. Since not all infants with diaper dermatitis complaints were examined, the number of the population cannot be known. The sample size was calculated as 26 for each group and 52 in total . 30 infants were planned to be included in each group. The licensed IBM SPSS 22.0 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) package program will be used for statistical data analysis. Standard deviation, number and percentage will be used in data analysis. Man Whitney U test and Fisher exact test (repeated measures) will be used to evaluate whether there is a difference between independent groups. For the significance level of the data, 0.05 will be used.
Diaper dermatitis, one of the most common health problems in infants, can be treated with various methods (Blume-Peytavi Kanti, 2018; Gozen et al., 2014; Seifi, Jalali, Heidari, 2017). One of these methods is breast milk. Breast milk has strong immunologic properties that protect infants from respiratory diseases, middle ear infections and gastrointestinal system diseases. It also has protective effects against diabetes mellitus, obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmunity and asthma. Because of these positive properties, breast milk has lifelong positive effects. In recent years, studies on the effect of breast milk in the treatment of dermatitis have been increasing (Kasrae, Farahani, Yousefi, 2015, Blume-Peytavi Kanti, 2018; Gozen et al., 2014; Seifi, Jalali, Heidari, 2017, Bener et al., 2007). In a study conducted by Gozen et al. using breast milk and barrier cream, barrier cream was found to be more effective than breast milk, especially in the treatment of moderate and severe dermatitis (Gozen et al., 2014). Farahani et al. applied 1% hydrocortisol and breast milk for 7 days in a randomized controlled study on diaper dermatitis. In this study, improvement was found to be similar on the 3rd and 7th days of treatment and it was concluded that breast milk was safe and effective (Farahani, Ghobadzadeh, Yousefi, 2013) Seifi et al. found a statistically significant difference between the groups in favor of breast milk in terms of skin rash score on the first and third days of the application in their study using breast milk in diaper rash care (p=0.013, p=0.005, respectively). This difference was even more significant on the fifth day (p=0.004, p=0.001) (Seifi et al., 2017). Studies show that breast milk is a non-harmful, free and effective product for the healing of dermatitis.

Exclusion Criteria:
In the study, a data collection form consisting of 13 questions regarding the sociodemographic characteristics of 0-12 month old babies and the "Uncomplicated Diaper Dermatitis Severity Assessment Scale in Babies, developed by Buckley et al. in 2016 and whose Turkish validity and reliability studies were conducted by Keskin, will be used.
Other: Use of diaper rash cream containing Hamamelis virginiana (potency 12mg/100g) 5.35 g / 100 g for infants in the control group in diaper dermatitis care
In diaper dermatitis care, it was planned to use their mothers' milk for the babies in the experimental group and diaper rash cream containing Hamamelis virginiana (potency 12mg/100g) 5.35 g/100g for the babies in the control group. The reason why diaper rash cream containing Hamamelis virginiana (potency 12mg/100g) 5.35 g/100 g is preferred is that it is the most frequently used cream in cases of uncomplicated diaper dermatitis. The mothers of the babies in the control group will be asked to wash and dry the baby's diaper with soap and water during each diaper change and then apply diaper rash cream containing Hamamelis virginiana (potency 12mg/100g) 5.35 g/100 g. Mothers will be asked to record any new signs and symptoms that develop during the treatment and to inform the investigators will be asked to provide information. Positive and negative effects of treatment will also be recorded.
