Patient's question:
The baby, who is 7 months old, has started crying every time they have a bowel movement since yesterday. They had 4 bowel movements at night and cried twice. Previously, they never did this. There's a big bump in the yellow circle area, and touching it makes them cry.Doctor's answer:
The child now has a red bottom, which is caused by dampness and the impact of urine and feces. It is recommended to change diapers or pull-ups frequently. After each bowel movement or feeding, use warm water or a 4% boric acid solution to clean the area. Pat dry with soft cotton cloth, do not rub. When washing the buttocks, use warm water instead of soap to increase local impact. After washing, sprinkle talcum powder or apply diaper cream. If the temperature or room conditions permit, you can place the pull-up under the buttocks to allow the buttocks to be fully exposed to air or sunlight for 2-3 times a day, each time for 10-20 minutes. Generally, the red bottom will be completely healed within 1-2 days.
