What should I do if my baby's buttocks are red from urine?

Patient's question:

Because I wet the bed at night, when I got up in the morning, I saw a large red patch on my thigh and buttocks. What should I do? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if it is simple diaper rash (without infection), you can apply diaper cream, ointment, and other baby skincare products. If there is an infection, you should apply medication such as Daktarin or clotrimazole. When washing diapers, avoid using strong irritating items like soap or laundry detergent. For diapers with urine, boil them in hot water and then rinse with clean water. For diapers with feces, you can use mild alkaline items like mild soap to wash them, and then place them in the sun to dry.
