Patient's question:

Patient Age: Two and a half years old
My baby is two and a half years old and often finds redness and pain during cleaning of the private parts. What could be the reason? Recently, I have frequently noticed that when cleaning my baby's private parts, the baby reacts with pain and also finds redness.

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: Hello! If possible, please upload clear images for further diagnosis, as there are many skin diseases with similar symptoms, and the diagnosis of skin diseases mainly relies on visual examination.
Advisory Suggestions: The possibility of diaper rash or seborrheic dermatitis is relatively high. It is recommended to visit a dermatology department in a formal hospital for examination. Check for fungi to determine if it is diaper rash. If confirmed, actively treat it under the guidance of a doctor.
Lifestyle Management: Avoid hot water and soap; only use lukewarm clean water. Keep the private area dry and can use talcum powder. Do not scratch or let urine irritate the area.
