Why is the buttocks of a baby around 20 days old red??

Patient's question:

My baby is only about 20 days old, but why is her butt red? I'm using Pampers! I wonder if using diapers all the time will have any impact on the baby. Also, why is her butt red? How should I handle and treat it? Thank you all experts for helping me with some advice!!!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after reading your description, I have a basic understanding of the situation. This is an easy problem to solve. Red buttocks are often caused by dampness and poor heat dissipation, leading to localized skin changes. Powders are usually not very effective. Most families have hairdryers, right? After each bowel or bladder movement, dry the buttocks with a hairdryer to maintain local cleanliness and dryness. Persistence for a week will lead to recovery.
