Question
What causes a baby’s buttocks to turn red?
Answer
A baby’s red bottom can be due to prolonged use of diapers, leading to the skin being in a moist and warm environment. In such cases, the stimulation from urine and feces can cause the area around the anus to become red, even leading to ulcers. Sesame oil or purple root oil can be used for treatment, and if there is severe swelling and burning, Lanke Skin Ning can be applied externally. Additionally, friction should be avoided on the swollen area. A baby’s skin is very sensitive, so it’s important to choose breathable and soft diapers and clothing.
