Newborn babies have delicate skin, and frequent bowel movements can easily cause redness and irritation around the anus, sometimes even leading to erosion and peeling. It is recommended to take care of the baby's intestinal health to address the root cause. Additionally, if erythromycin ointment is not effective, you can try other options.
