Patient's question:
Hello, my son is almost 8 months old. The area where he urinates is very red, and the area around his "testicles" is also very red, with some shiny bubbles appearing. We change his diapers quite frequently, and we wash them each time. He visited the hospital two days ago, and the doctor said he had a bacterial infection. The doctor prescribed some anti-inflammatory medication to take and iodine for disinfection and cleaning. However, after more than a week, it hasn't improved, and the bubbles seem to have increased. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, based on the information provided, the child has developed diaper rash.Advice: It is recommended not to apply erythromycin ointment to the child initially. You can continue taking anti-inflammatory medication. You may apply topical Chinese medicine ingredients, such as 10ml of Kangfuxin liquid mixed with 250ml of warm water, and use sterile gauze for local wet compresses. Do this once daily for 15-20 minutes each time. The symptoms should improve quickly. When changing the child's diaper, apply petroleum jelly and zinc oxide powder to protect and isolate the skin.
