Patient's question:
The child has only been born for a month, and since yesterday, many bumps have appeared on their buttocks. It might be because they weren't changed after getting wet. Now the skin is a bit like it's oozing, and the child is crying and fussing. Even after taking Hongfeng San internally, the symptoms haven't been relieved. I don't know what medicine to use. What about diaper rash?Doctor's answer:
This is a case of neonatal diaper rash, which is related to local hygiene issues in children. Improper cleaning, prolonged stimulation from urine and feces, and the baby's delicate skin can easily lead to this condition. In terms of treatment, it's important to keep the baby's skin dry and breathable. Zinc oxide ointment can also be applied externally. If there are broken areas, boracic solution can be used as well. After cleaning and drying the area, apply the ointment in combination.
