A four-month-old baby has redness and pain around the anus. What could be the cause?

Patient's question:

No major symptoms, just that when she encounters my daughter's buttocks at night, she gets fussy. The area around the anus is very red, and it's been about half a month. The elders at home say it's due to a "hot" condition.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Based on your child's condition, it is very likely that your child is suffering from diaper rash, also known as "red bottom." This condition is not caused by a single factor such as diapers but rather by multiple factors that lead to irritation and redness of the baby's buttock skin due to urine and stool.
Advice: Regarding medication, you can apply boracic solution or Prasugent ointment externally. In daily life, it is important to change diapers frequently.
