The baby's bottom is red with rashes, and the sides of the buttock creases are a bit hard.

Patient's question:

A 14-day-old baby has redness and swelling in the groin area with some hardness, accompanied by red rashes. The baby has frequent bowel movements and urine output, with loose, egg-like stools. After each bowel movement, warm water is used to clean the area, followed by applying powder. At night, disposable diapers are worn, with about 3 changes per night. During the day, cotton wipes are used. The left eye of the baby has tears and discharge, often making it difficult to open.

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: Hello, if the child's buttock skin is locally red and accompanied by rashes, you can apply disinfectant cod liver oil. If the rashes have broken, you can use zinc oxide ointment.
Suggestions: If there is erosion or peeling of the local skin, you can apply cod liver oil zinc oxide paste. If there is a secondary bacterial infection, please see a doctor.
