Patient's question:
I heard that alum should be applied to the baby when she is young, otherwise her skin will hurt in the future. Is that true? Should I apply alum to the baby? The hospital said it cannot be used. The baby now has a red bottom, should I apply alum?Doctor's answer:
Friend, the baby's red buttocks might be because you bathe the baby too frequently. For the current red buttocks, you can apply some sesame oil. Additionally, I suggest you don't scrub the baby every time they have a bowel movement. Finally, use warm water to rinse the buttocks clean. Scrubbing with a cloth every time can easily remove the skin's protective layer. Also, it's best not to use alum. The above advice is for the question "I heard that it's recommended to apply alum to the baby when they are young, otherwise their skin will not be good in the future." I hope it helps you. Wishing you health!
