Patient's question:
I have been changing the baby's diaper quite quickly, but unfortunately, the baby still got diaper rash. The area where the diaper has been placed is a bit itchy, and now that part is all red. The baby is also very uncomfortable, always crying and fussing. I guess it must be really itchy down there. We are also very anxious watching him.Doctor's answer:
Hello; The skin of infants is extremely delicate. If they are exposed to urine for a long time or become damp due to airtight diapers, small red rashes or rough skin often appear on the buttocks, which are called "diaper rash" or "red buttocks." Treatment; With a bit of diligence, you can help your baby overcome diaper rash within three to four days. When the diaper rash is still mild to moderate, parents should take action in the following three aspects: Clean/Isolate harmful substances, reduce skin irritation to prevent the growth and infection of bacteria and fungi. Keep it dry, preferably in an air-conditioned room. Wish you health.
