Question
What to do when a baby’s bottom is red and swollen after 20 days?
Answer
Since the actual condition is not visible, based on the description, it could be a regional eczema or diaper dermatitis. It’s advised to avoid overusing medication to maintain dryness and promote healing. It’s best to take the child to a dermatology or pediatric department for a detailed examination. Generally, keeping the area dry and maintaining cleanliness, while avoiding irritants, will allow the redness and swelling to improve naturally.
