Question
My baby’s buttocks have developed a diaper rash, with the skin red and some areas of the epidermis peeling off. How should I treat it?
Answer
For the treatment of childhood diaper rash, first, use warm water for cleaning and gently dry with a cotton cloth. Then, apply red mold ointment or purple grass oil to keep the affected area clean and dry. It is recommended to breastfeed frequently to avoid prolonged contact of the skin with the diaper. After each feeding and defecation, wash immediately with warm water and apply baby-specific diaper cream to reduce skin irritation and prevent the occurrence of diaper rash.
