Question

My baby is eight months old and has developed some small red spots on their buttocks. It might be an allergy to the diapers. How can I treat a diaper rash?

Answer

Most cases of pediatric diaper rash are caused by the skin becoming moist due to the use of non-breathable diapers. You can clean your baby’s buttocks with warm water every day and then apply a cream for eczema. During treatment, stop using diapers and switch to higher-quality cotton ones to avoid irritating your baby’s delicate skin. At the same time, keep your baby’s bottom dry and well-ventilated, and pay attention to maintaining good hygiene for your baby.
