Previous treatment history and effectiveness: There has been no treatment so far. What kind of assistance is desired: Want to ask what is going on, what is the cause, and how to...

Doctor's answer:

If you are using diapers, it means the quality of the diapers is not good enough, and hygiene cannot be fully met, which can lead to infections in the child's organs. It is recommended to use cotton-based diapers for the child. Disposable diapers should absolutely not be used with medication, and they should also not be used if they have not been sterilized or if the sterilization has expired. For red and swollen areas, you can use 0.1% formalin disinfectant to wipe and then apply erythromycin ointment for anti-inflammatory purposes.
