How to treat infant vulvitis better?

Patient's question:

How is it best to treat infant vulvitis? That is, how should this vulvitis in young children be treated best for it to be good? My child is so young, should I not be able to use baking soda to wash it? If young children cannot use baking soda to wash, what medicine should be used for the best treatment effect? What medicine should be used?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I am glad to help you solve your problem. The vulvar inflammation in infants and young children is caused by an increase in the body's resistance and poor external hygiene, such as not changing underwear frequently and not washing the vulva often. The child should not use baking soda to wipe the vulva; instead, use warm water or infant red root liquid to clean the vulva. If there is local redness, swelling, and pain, you can apply erythromycin ointment to prevent friction and change underwear frequently.
