Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: My baby is just 10 days old. In the past few days, I noticed a small amount of blood on his navel. I used alcohol to clean it, but the next day, there was a little bit of new blood again. However, the general skin has not turned red. I want to ask if this is normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, using some povidone-iodine to clean daily can achieve the desired therapeutic effect and make it better. Pay attention to keeping the umbilical area clean and dry, and use alcohol swabs for disinfection after bathing. Also, pay attention to the care of newborns and change diapers promptly.
