Patient's question:
How should I deal with my baby's scraped thighs?Doctor's answer:
In the case of the child, it is highly likely to be caused by diaper rash, although it could also be due to unclean diapers. When cleaning the buttocks, it is best to use water. If using a cloth, avoid rubbing and instead gently press, as the child's delicate skin is prone to tearing. After each cleaning, apply a layer of ointment, such as tetracycline ointment or eye ointment, to the little buttocks. Additionally, ensure to change the diaper promptly and let it air out to prevent the release of ammonia from urine and feces, which can irritate the sensitive skin.
