Patient's question:
The child just turned one year old this year. Since I am the only one taking care of the child, I am afraid that the child will wet the bed at home, so I always put on diapers. This year, my mother-in-law came to stay with me to take care of the child. My mother-in-law told me that diapers should not be worn for too long, as it is easy to get diaper rash if worn for too long. I want to know what diaper rash is, what the symptoms and hazards are?Doctor's answer:
Otherwise, it could be a rash on the buttocks, which is usually caused by prolonged use of diapers or wet wipes that are not breathable. This situation can lead to redness, irritation, and itching on the child's buttocks. Therefore, parents who use diapers or wet wipes for their children should pay attention to keeping their buttocks dry, especially after defecation, and should clean the buttocks properly. It is also appropriate to apply some talcum powder to the child's buttocks.
