A new method for treating the diapered area of a child's skin to prevent diaper dermatitis. The method features the use of a portable drying apparatus having a housing with an air admitting inlet and an air discharging outlet, a rotary impeller mechanism in the housing for creating a flow of air through the air outlet, and a handle mounted to the housing. The method employs the use of an air stream which is at or near air ambient temperature. Exposing the child's skin to air at such temperatures minimizes the risk of skin burn as a safe method for treating the diapered area. The present invention also includes an improved apparatus as referred to above.
