How to handle diaper rash for a baby who is more than nine months old

Patient's question:

Patient Age: Nine and a half months old. The baby is nine and a half months old, a boy. During the day, he doesn't need a diaper even when wearing open-bottom pants, but he does use a disposable diaper at night, changing it basically every four hours. He has had diaper rash for a week now. His little bottom is very red, with small red spots around it. Over the past two days, the sides of his penis have also become a bit red. He is cleaned in the morning and evening, and before putting on a disposable diaper at night, a layer of vegetable oil is applied to his little penis. Recently, the baby's hands have often been reaching down, possibly because it itches down there.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: You went to the hospital to be diagnosed, but it's not clear whether it is... Suggestions: I think it might be a problem in other aspects, and you should go see a doctor again. The child is threatened by diaper rash, so the parents must take the child to the hospital for immediate medical treatment to avoid blindly using small advertisements for medicine. It is necessary to use medicine reasonably. For parents, it is important to observe the changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
