Patient's question:
My baby just turned one month old, and the skin around the anus has already cracked. What should I do? Should I use Pekang Wang for such a young baby? Or is there any other topical ointment I can use? I need advice from online experts. I hope my baby can recover soon.First follow-up question: Can I use salt water to clean the baby's cracked wound? I know it might hurt the baby, but will it be effective?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the symptoms you described may be related to diaper rash. Since the child is very young, medication should be used with caution. It is recommended to follow the doctor's advice. Small children have weaker immune systems, so they are prone to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents, do not be anxious and should take the child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. Also, pay attention to regular check-ups for the child and use medication reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
