Hello, it might be diaper rash. Diaper rash is a type of contact dermatitis that occurs in the diaper-covered area of infants. It is often caused by infrequent diaper changes or poor cleaning, leading to bacterial breakdown of urine and the production of ammonia-like substances that irritate the skin. It is characterized by large areas of erythema (redness) in the diaper area, followed by the appearance of papules, vesicles, and even erosion. In severe cases, it can form ulcers. The borders are clear, and the extent matches the diaper-covered area. The skin folds may remain unaffected or show mild symptoms as they do not directly contact the diaper. Prevention should be the primary focus for diaper rash. It is important to change diapers frequently to avoid prolonged contact of wet diapers with the skin. Diapers should be made of soft, old cotton fabric, with an adequate supply and kept clean and dry. When changing diapers, non-irritating talcum powder can be used to keep the skin dry. Additionally, infants should not be overclothed or overcovered with blankets, and their clothing should not be too tight. The room temperature should be appropriate to reduce the irritation of moisture and heat to the skin. If the child's skin has already developed diaper rash, avoid using hot water and soap to scrub the skin, as hot water and soap can worsen the skin inflammation. Mild diaper rash can usually be treated by frequently cleaning the skin and maintaining dryness and cleanliness, which typically resolves within 2 to 3 days. If skin ulcers or other symptoms occur, medical attention should be sought. It is recommended to consult a dermatologist or a neonatal department in a reputable hospital for diagnosis and treatment. I hope this helps.
