Patient's question:
My child has been born for a month, and small red spots have appeared around the anus, and the spots have burst. I searched online and it seems like it might be diaper rash. Could you please ask the expert how to treat it and what medicine works quickly? I have been using purple antiseptic solution for a week without seeing any improvement, and I have also used sesame oil for a while, but it hasn't worked much either.Follow-up question 1: I don't know if Johnson's diaper cream can be used again since the skin has already broken.
Follow-up question 2: The rash started around the anus and then spread to the buttocks and thighs, so this rash is not diaper rash.
Is this statement correct? My child is currently around the anus.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Diaper rash is also known as buttock redness. The most important thing is to maintain dryness and try to expose the buttocks. Local applications of erythromycin ointment and cod liver oil can be used.
