Question

My baby is ten months old, and their bottom is always red. How should I treat it? Urgent!

Answer

Condition Analysis: Hello; has your baby’s bowel movements increased? If so, it may be inflammation around the anus. It is recommended to clean the baby’s bottom with warm water after each bowel movement, use a soft, clean towel to dry it, and then apply diaper rash cream or red mold ointment. At the same time, find out the cause of frequent bowel movements and actively treat it. The child may have diaper rash, and parents should immediately take the child to a doctor for treatment, avoid self-medication, closely observe the child’s symptom changes, and treat the disease in a timely manner.
