Answers:

Baby powder is an astringent powder used for preventing rashes on the area covered by a diaper. It is composed of ingredients such as ground talc or cornstarch.

It is primarily used in the areas where diapers are affixed. ;-)

Diaper rash (U.S.) or nappy rash (UK), is a generic term applied to skin rashes in the diaper area that are caused by a various skin disorders and/or irritants.

Generic rash or irritant diaper dermatitis (IDD) is characterized by joined patches of erythema and scaling mainly seen on the convex surfaces, with the skin folds spared.

Baby powder is called baby powder because it is primarily formulated to help babies in skin conditions caused by chafing diapers however adults also use it because of various reason e.g. vanity, because of the fine grain of the baby powder etc.
