Patient's question:
A nine-month-old baby girl, using diapers, has had a red bottom for several days! We have been applying Pīpǐlè, but it hasn't improved. Yesterday, we visited a village doctor who suggested washing the baby with warm water and applying some powder. However, today the condition not only hasn't improved but has gotten even redder! We don't know why, and we need to know how to treat it. Urgent!!!Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help clarify this for you. Based on the situation you described, it's recommended not to use baby powder. Instead, I suggest purchasing a bottle of calamine lotion. After washing the external area, apply it to the affected area. Avoid applying it to the mucous membranes inside the labia. Wash and reapply after each diaper change. If it feels very dry, apply a little olive oil before the baby takes a nap in the afternoon. Once it has healed, try using a different type of diaper to see if that helps. This is my advice for the question "Nine-month-old girl using diapers." I hope it's helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
