Question
My child is 2 months old, a girl, and I am taking care of her myself. I use diapers at night but not during the day. Recently, the area around her bottom has become very red. I’m young and inexperienced, and I want to know what to do if a baby’s bottom is red?
Answer
Hello, a red bottom in babies could be due to frequent use of diapers without frequent changes. Babies’ skin can become long-term damp and hot, and the stimulation from urine and feces can cause redness around the anus, even leading to ulcers. You can apply sesame oil or purple grass oil externally. If there is significant swelling and burning, you can use an external application of Blue Skin Ning. Additionally, avoid friction on the red area. Babies’ skin is delicate, so when choosing diapers and clothing, pay attention to breathability and softness.
