Question
My child is 19 days old and their anus is red, and they seem to feel pain during urination, often crying. I am using disposable pads, and I wonder if this product is causing the issue. Please guide me.
Answer
Based on the description, your child may be suffering from diaper rash due to the diaper being too tight and not breathable. This situation could be caused by ammonia released from the decomposition of urine and feces, which irritates the sensitive skin and leads to damage. If you are not averse to handwashing diapers, it is recommended to switch to cotton diapers. If you still prefer disposable diapers, make sure to check and change them frequently to ensure that urine and feces do not come into prolonged contact with the skin. Additionally, after each cleaning, gently dry your child and apply ointment such as tetracycline ointment or eye ointment to prevent diaper rash. I hope my answer is helpful.
