Patient's question:
There are small bumps on the baby's buttocks, a bit red, not many, not in a whole patch, but scattered. We have been applying ointment to the baby's buttocks, but it's not very effective. Sometimes it gets better after applying, but gets worse again when not applied. It doesn't seem to itch much, and the baby hasn't been seen scratching. It's been a month now, and it hasn't healed yet.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Based on your description, the small red bumps on the baby's buttocks are likely to be diaper rash.Advice: Diaper rash is caused by the irritation and friction of urine and stool mixed with the diaper on the skin, resulting in inflammation. It may appear as slight redness from the groin to the buttocks, with the skin becoming rough and even developing tiny pimples. It is important to keep the baby's bottom clean and dry. You can also apply diaper cream to the area.
