Baby's red bottom has been cracked and peeled for more than ten days, what should I do?

Patient's question:

Baby has been home for 28 days, and the red butt rash has been peeling and breaking for over ten days. We have tried several methods, but it keeps coming back and forth. I don't know what to do anymore. We change diapers quite frequently, about every one to two hours, and change them immediately when we see poop. We wash with warm water, then dry the moisture, use iodine for sterilization, apply ointment, and finally cover it with a thick layer of diaper cream for protection. The current situation is a bit better than when it first started, but it still hasn't fully healed. The first picture below shows the condition when it first started to peel, and the second picture shows the current situation. The area under the "egg" is also red and peeling.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the sound of the photo you uploaded suggests that the phenomenon is caused by poor personal hygiene protection. It is recommended that you need to improve your awareness, apply Vaseline ointment locally to the baby, or use Vaseline dry powder, and it will heal on its own. The above is the suggestion for the question "Baby's home origin for 28 days, red buttocks with broken skin for more than 10 days," hoping it helps you, and wish you health! 1
