Patient's question:
My child has developed many diaper rashes on their buttocks, and the entire area is red. In some places, the skin has even peeled off. Every time I feed the child, I feel extremely frustrated. The child is only two months old, and they cannot go without a diaper. How should diaper rashes be treated in infants?Doctor's answer:
Diaper rash in children needs to be cleaned promptly with warm water, then dried with cotton gauze, and then apply erythromycin eye ointment or purple grass oil. Usually keep the skin partially clean and dry, and feed the baby frequently to avoid the skin staying wet for too long. After each feeding and bowel movement, clean with warm water promptly, then apply diaper cream specifically for infants to prevent skin irritation and diaper rash. Wishing your baby good health.
