Question
How to treat newborn redness?
Answer
Newborn redness is a problem that occurs when a baby’s skin is stimulated by urine and stool for an extended period. In terms of treatment, it is first necessary to keep the baby’s skin dry and well-ventilated. Zinc oxide ointment can be applied topically, and if the skin is damaged, boracic acid solution can be used for cleaning before applying the ointment. Additionally, regularly changing diapers and keeping the baby’s bottom clean are important preventive measures against redness.
