Patient's question:
A one-month-old baby's buttocks have been very red and inflamed, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, this is not due to a "hot constitution" but rather the child urinating frequently, which may lead to buttock irritation. This is somewhat related to the hardness of the wipes used for cleaning and improper wiping techniques. Using diapers can exacerbate this condition.Advice: This is not a serious issue. Applying erythromycin ophthalmic ointment will suffice. Apply the ointment three times a day. After each urination, gently wash the area with warm water and use soft cloth wipes to clean. Then, apply the medication. Generally, it should improve within 2 days.
