Question
My baby has developed a diaper rash, and I am asking for recommendations on suitable medication and the potential effects of the medication on the baby.
Answer
It is recommended to use purple root oil or 1% tannic acid ointment, along with antibiotic ointment, as these topical medications have a minimal impact on the baby. Change diapers frequently, keep the genital area dry, and use highly absorbent diapers. After cleaning, apply talcum powder, and make sure to rinse thoroughly with clean water after using soap.
