Patient's question:
I have a particularly soft and cute baby at home, but when others come to visit him, they noticed a problem: his buttocks are always red. I want to ask how to deal with red buttocks in newborns? The answer to this question is really important to me.Doctor's answer:
The condition of a newborn's red buttocks may be due to infrequent changes of diapers, allowing urine and feces to stay on the buttocks for too long, or failing to clean and dry the baby's bottom promptly after defecation. The skin of infants is very delicate, and improper care can easily lead to recurring red buttocks. It is recommended that parents pay close attention to changing diapers promptly, and after defecation, they should clean and dry the baby's bottom with warm water and apply a diaper cream specifically designed for babies.
