Patient's question:
A 4-month-old girl has recently had very red buttocks. Her clothes are hand-washed, and her diapers are of good quality, changed every 2-3 hours. She has also been applying erythromycin ointment, but her buttocks are still very red. Could it be that her mother's stomachache and breastfeeding have caused this?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it may be due to the recurrence of diaper rash caused by diapers. Because there is a lot of stool, combined with the lack of ventilation from the diapers, it can cause skin inflammation. Now, it is essential to pay attention to keeping the area clean and dry. Maintaining a clean and dry condition can help reduce inflammation and swelling by applying Jingwanhong ointment. Make sure to let his buttocks air out more. Of course, the mother should not have a stomachache, as it can affect the child.
