Question
What should I do if my one and a half month old baby frequently gets red spots on their bottom?
Answer
Corticosteroid hormone-dependent dermatitis (also known as hormone-dependent dermatitis or hormone dermatitis) is a dermatitis caused by the long-term and repeated improper use of topical medications containing corticosteroids. In recent years, with a significant increase in incidence and difficulty in treatment, it has become a focus of medical experts. After applying the above corticosteroid medications, the primary disease condition can be rapidly improved; however, within 1 to 2 days after stopping the medication, the skin at the application site may develop significant symptoms such as erythema, papules, fissures, desquamation, small pustules, itching, and tenderness. When the medication is used again, the above symptoms and signs will quickly diminish. If the medication is stopped again, the dermatitis symptoms will rapidly recur and gradually worsen, showing a more obvious dependence on corticosteroids, particularly in areas such as the face and perineum.
