What causes a baby's bottom to be frequently red?

Patient's question:

A four-month-old baby often has a red bottom. Previously, it never used to be red, but recently for over a month, it has been red on and off. Care has been comprehensive in all aspects, and diapers have been changed. Breastfeeding is being done, but it is unknown if it's due to a maternal reason.

Doctor's answer:

According to your current description, the child's skin is quite delicate. After experiencing certain stimuli, it is prone to recurring local skin allergies and eczema. You can use Shiren Tang Eczema Cream for treatment. For infants and young children with eczema, it is recommended to gently cleanse the affected area, follow a low-salt diet to increase the exudate at the site, and consume more foods rich in vitamins and mineral salts, such as green leafy vegetable juice, carrot water, fresh fruit juice, tomato juice, etc. I hope this helps. Thank you.
