Question
The baby was born 15 days ago, and now there is redness and peeling on the inner side of the thigh. What should I do?
Answer
Hello, a direct examination of the skin is important, as many skin diseases have similar presentations, which can significantly affect the diagnosis of skin conditions. It’s best to consider visiting a regular hospital’s dermatology department for a check-up. Once diagnosed, treatment can be initiated. If the child is affected by diaper dermatitis, parents must take the child to a doctor immediately for treatment and avoid using medication blindly to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is essential to provide enough care and attention to the child and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
