According to Barton D. Schmitt, author of "The Health of Your Child," almost all babies develop rashes when they develop diarrhea. The more times a baby dries a diaper, the more likely he is to have a painful diaper rash, sometimes accompanied by blisters. If your baby has diarrhea, blisters are more common because his skin is more exposed to feces. If blisters appear in your diaper area, call your baby doctor immediately. Often, a blistering rash will heal on its own, but some treatments can help alleviate your baby's discomfort and help speed up the healing process.
