Patient's question:
Subject Description: BB is 15 days old and has developed a red bottom. Could the experts please suggest any treatment plans? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to avoid wrapping the little buttocks too tightly while ensuring the child does not get cold. When cleaning the buttocks, it is best to rinse with water. If using a cloth, avoid rubbing; instead, gently press. And make sure to be very gentle, as the child's delicate skin is prone to tearing. If the child cries and fusses excessively for no apparent reason, check to see if the buttock skin is red, as the child may be uncomfortable.To prevent this type of diaper rash, you can apply a layer of ointment to the little buttocks after each cleaning, such as tetracycline ointment or even eye ointment. Also, be sure to change the diaper promptly and let the buttocks air out to avoid irritation from ammonia released when urine and feces decompose.
