Patient's question:
The baby just born, eight months old, and for some reason, it might be an allergy to diapers, some small red spots have appeared on the buttocks. I have gone to ask the doctor, who said it is a diaper rash. I have also bought some ointment recommended by the doctor to apply, but after a week, it hasn't improved. So I want to ask the doctor, how to treat diaper rash?Doctor's answer:
Diaper rash in children is often caused by the lack of breathability when using diapers, leading to skin being soaked. You can use warm water to rinse the baby's buttocks daily and apply some eczema cream. During the treatment period, it is not advisable to use diapers anymore. You can switch to cotton diapers with better quality, ensuring they are soft to avoid irritating the baby's delicate skin. It is important to keep the baby's buttocks dry and breathable, and pay attention to the child's hygiene.
