Patient's question:
Recently, I just noticed that when the baby was five months old and just born, there wasn't much use of diapers before hospitalization, and the buttocks were a bit red, and the vagina was also a bit red. I noticed this while cleaning.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, consider that the baby's red bottom is caused by not always keeping the buttock skin clean and dry. Since the area of the diaper cover that touches the diaper for a long time is exposed to both urine and feces, which have a strong impact on the skin, and combined with the delicate skin of newborns, redness is prone to recur. The local skin may again appear as red spots, and in severe cases, the skin may become purulent. It is necessary to keep the buttocks dry and change the diaper in a timely manner. If the buttocks remain red, it is recommended to switch to a new diaper brand and use diapers with good dustproof and breathable performance from well-known brands.
