Patient's question:
My child is two and a half months old, she is a girl. I am taking care of her myself. At night, we use diapers, but not during the day. Recently, her buttocks have become very red. I am young and lack experience. I would like to ask how to deal with red buttocks in young children.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the baby may develop a red bottom due to frequent use of diapers without changing them often enough. The baby's skin, exposed to a warm and damp environment for a long time, can be irritated by urine, stool, and other waste, leading to redness around the anus or even ulcers. You can apply sesame oil or pu gong ying oil externally. If there is significant redness, swelling, and heat, you can use Lanke Funiing externally. Additionally, avoid friction on the irritated area. Infant skin is delicate, so when choosing diapers and clothing, pay attention to breathability and softness.
