Question

My child has been crying constantly lately and doesn’t eat much. What should I do when my child has a red bottom?

Answer

Hello, it could be baby eczema. You can use a 1:10,000 potassium permanganate solution for wet compress (be sure to ensure that the potassium permanganate is completely dissolved; undissolved potassium permanganate can burn your baby’s skin). This method not only cleans the wound but also has antibacterial, astringent, and oxidizing effects. Child health issues have always been a concern for parents. When treating this condition, it is advisable to adopt general treatment methods. Only by using professional methods can family members help children recover from the disease quickly, thus avoiding any impact on their growth and development. Therefore, after a child falls ill, parents must act promptly to help their children heal.
