Patient's question:
Today morning I found my baby's buttocks were red, looking very itchy, not sure where the mistake occurred. What should I do if my baby's buttocks are red? What should I pay attention to when taking care of the baby in the future?Doctor's answer:
There are many ways to solve the problem of red buttocks in babies. It is important to frequently feed the baby and keep the diaper clean and dry. When feeding, wash the baby with warm water and then gently pat or dry them with a clean towel. It is best not to rub back and forth, as this will further irritate the baby's skin. The diaper should not be too tight; if the baby wears it too tightly, it can block air from entering, making it easier to cause wetness and heat.
