Patient's question:
Infants often get red buttocks, which keep recurring. Even after changing the diaper brand, it's still the same. It gets worse if the diaper is left on for a bit longer without changing. Is this eczema or something else? What medication should be used? The girl is 4 and a half months old.Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, the current symptoms of the baby are due to the lack of breathability of the diaper causing skin infection. You must change the diaper frequently. It is best for the diaper to be made of pure cotton, and you should also wipe the baby with warm water appropriately, then apply diaper cream locally. It is important to keep the skin of the buttocks clean and dry as much as possible. This symptom will improve. The main reason is that the baby's buttocks are covered.
