Effect of oral zinc supplements on diaper rash in normal infants.
A total of 89 normal newborn infants received 10mg oral zinc supplements daily for 4 months and 90 others received a placebo. The zinc supplemented group had a significant reduction in the incidence of diaper rash, and they gained slightly more in height and weight, although the growth differences were not significant.
