Question

What are the methods for treating newborn diaper rash?

Answer

Here are some effective ways to prevent and treat diaper rash:

  1. Place a layer of thick toilet paper on the diaper, followed by a baby-specific waterproof pad to keep the baby’s buttocks dry.
  2. Clean the baby’s buttocks with warm water each time you change the diaper, and ensure they are completely dry.
  3. Apply unscented and alcohol-free moisturizing lotion or talcum powder to keep the baby’s buttocks dry.
  4. Choose diapers made from soft, breathable materials, and change them frequently to reduce moisture and friction.
  5. For severe diaper rash, medication can be used, but it should be done under a doctor’s guidance. Adjust these methods according to the baby’s actual condition and pay attention to maintaining the baby’s personal hygiene. If the situation does not improve, consult a doctor promptly.
