Patient's question:
The baby's toe might have turned white due to being pressed against the ribs. After being exposed to the hospital lights and kept warm, it recovered without medication. The wound was dressed, and the baby was discharged. However, it has not yet swollen or become red. It has peeled off a layer of skin, with the tip of the finger peeling off a layer of skin, revealing a thin, tender layer underneath that is red and has formed a scab. The baby then kicked it off, causing it to bleed, and another scab formed. It has not fallen off yet.Hello, in this case, it may still develop pus. Why hasn’t the swelling subsided yet? After peeling off a layer of skin, what is revealed is a thin, tender layer that is red.
Doctor's answer:
Consider it may be local cerebral edema caused by tight wrapping. For this, the best current approach is to go to the hospital for a thorough examination, as treatment will be better, ideally with some images for reference. In cases like this, is it better to let it air out or keep it warm? At home, it's around 20 degrees Celsius, and as long as he doesn't take a nap, I usually let it air out. The little feet feel a bit cool—is that a concern? Can it be exposed to sunlight through a glass window? Wishing the little one a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
