Question
A seven-month-old baby is experiencing redness and peeling around the anus, and has previously used red mold ointment after using diapers, but the effect is not significant. Is it possible to use facial skincare products to address this issue?
Answer
For a seven-month-old baby, perianal infections are common and may be caused by urine exposure. First, soak the baby’s bottom in warm water 2-3 times a day, focusing on the area when applying the red mold ointment. At the same time, switch to new, soft cotton diapers and change them promptly. If there is no improvement after three to five days, it is recommended to visit a professional pediatric medical facility for a follow-up consultation.
