Question
The baby has blisters on the buttocks. What other symptoms might there be?
Answer
You may notice two ‘rosy’ red patches at the center of the buttocks on both sides, followed by papules, peeling, or small blisters. These symptoms may also include pustules, skin breakdown, and ulcers, which may gradually spread to the inner thighs. At this point, the baby may become restless and difficult to soothe. It is recommended to apply pure plant-based, hormone-free nappy cream to the affected area to alleviate the rash. For children troubled by diaper rash, parents should take their child to see a doctor as soon as possible and avoid using medications from small advertisements. It is important for parents to provide enough care and attention to their child and to help them receive timely treatment for the disease.
