Question
A one-year-old baby has developed redness around the anal area, and bowel movements are accompanied by red and yellow watery stools.
Answer
Hello, the baby’s symptoms may be caused by enteritis or regional eczema, which can lead to red and painful skin in the affected area. It is not caused by internal heat. It is recommended to first allow the baby to rest and adopt a light, mild, and easily digestible diet. At the same time, it is suggested to apply a baby-safe powder cream to the affected area. If diagnosed with enteritis, active treatment should be pursued. Keeping the anal area dry is also very important. Wishing this baby a healthy recovery.
