Analysis of the condition: Hello, the red spots appearing on the newborn's bottom are mostly considered to be diaper rash.Advice: For this situation, it's important to try to expose the baby's bottom to the air for a longer period of time. After the baby urinates or defecates, it's necessary to clean the baby with warm water promptly. After washing, you can apply a layer of vegetable oil to protect the skin. As for medication, it's best not to use it for now.
Doctor's inquiry: Additionally, how is the baby being fed, and what is the condition of the baby's bowel movements?
