Patient's question:
These days, during the busy farming season, my grandparents have been busy harvesting and drying rice, so they haven't changed the baby's diaper on time. Sometimes, they haven't wiped the diaper area clean either, which has made the baby's bottom a bit red. What should I do? What kind of ointment works well?Doctor's answer:
The baby's bottom is a bit red, and no ointment should be used. Give the baby warm water to wash the little bottom. Wash it more than twice a day, and after washing, use a soft, clean towel to gently dry the child. Always keep the bottom dry and avoid letting urine wet the little bottom. It will be fine in a day or two. In this case, it's very clear that the diaper has soaked the baby's bottom. The main treatment for this situation is to take off the diaper and let it dry more often.
