Summary:Presently, hygiene is a branch of preventive medicine that studies the action of different environmental factors on people's health, has the purpose of disease prevention, the efficient use of resources by the population in order to reduce its exposure to risk factors capable of causing illness9. At the end of the bath, oils or protective creams are used. Besides the daily bath to any defecation or change of diaper, the perianal and genital toilet with hypoallergenic soap and water is made13. (Figure 1) In the respondent range, 17 patients were hospitalized in the first 8 days of postpartum, at which the umbilical plague was not healed. 7 cases out of 17 (41.18%) presented omphalitis (due to local hygiene), the microbial etiology being varied: 3 were with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 2 with hemolytic staphylococcus aureus, 1 with Proteus, 1 with E. Coli, all children requiring antibiotic antibiotic therapy. (Figure 4) In the group of mothers with higher education, higher socio-economic level was found the "reverse of the medal": exaggerated concern for children's hygiene, excessive use of detergent products, 4 children out of the 24 (16,66%) developed initial contact dermatitis, 2 out of 4 later evolving with atopic dermatitis though atopia was not found in the family inheritance of the children.
