Question
What could be the causes of a newborn’s red diaper rash?
Answer
When a newborn exhibits a red diaper rash, the possible causes may include improper cleaning, infection, or allergic reactions. If you notice your baby’s diaper rash turning red, you can first use iodine alcohol for disinfection, twice a day until the symptoms improve. In addition, since a newborn’s immune system is not fully developed, they are more susceptible to diseases. Therefore, if you observe similar symptoms, it is important to take your child to the doctor immediately and follow the doctor’s instructions for medication. Avoid purchasing and using medication on your own to prevent delaying the condition.
