Patient's question:
How should I deal with my baby's scraped thighs?Doctor's answer:
In the case of the child, it is highly likely to be caused by diaper rash, although it could also be due to unclean diapers. When cleaning the buttocks, it is best to use water. If using a cloth, avoid rubbing and gently press instead, making sure to be very gentle to prevent the delicate skin from easily breaking. After each cleaning, apply a layer of ointment to the little buttocks, such as tetracycline ointment or even eye ointment. Also, be sure to change the diaper promptly and let it air out to avoid the ammonia released during decomposition from irritating the sensitive skin.
