Patient's question:
My baby has only been born for about ten days, but I've recently noticed that it seems to have developed diaper rash. I've always used diapers, and I've been changing them very frequently, but I don't know why this is happening. It might be due to excessive secretions from the baby. I'm very anxious now and wondering if I can try using erythromycin ointment first.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the skin of infants is extremely delicate. If they are exposed to urine for a long time or remain damp due to airtight diapers, small red rashes or rough skin often appear on the buttocks, which are called "diaper rash" or "red buttocks." Do not use erythromycin ointment anymore. You can apply Kangfuxin liquid externally for a very good effect.
