Analysis of the Condition: Hello, red (diaper rash) in babies is usually caused by delayed diaper changes or prolonged use of breathable diapers. This situation requires special attention, and it's essential to take good care of the baby's buttocks. Otherwise, bacteria and other pathogens may enter through the red and cause neonatal sepsis.Advice: First and foremost, maintain the baby's buttocks clean and dry. After the baby urinates or defecates, use warm water to clean the little buttocks. After washing, gently pat them dry with a soft towel. Wet wipes are not necessary. When drying, be careful not to apply too much force, as the baby's skin is very delicate. After drying, you can apply some diaper cream. A product called Shengmusu Yuhong ointment is very effective for treating red. Change diapers frequently, and let the baby's buttocks air out during diaper changes. This method is the most effective, but be sure to keep the baby warm.
