Question

How do you cure diaper rash?

Answer

Diaper rash occurs when a baby’s buttocks are exposed to a moist, humid environment for a long time, or when the substances in urine and feces irritate the skin. Diaper rash is more common in summer, but if diapers are not used, the baby’s genital area may be exposed to bacterial infections. Here are some care methods and suggestions:

  1. Change diapers frequently and use soft wet wipes.
  2. Use soft, comfortable cotton cloth as diaper inserts.
  3. Train the baby to control urination and defecation on their own, developing good habits.
  4. Use a diaper rash cream when there is a slight redness on the buttocks; seek medical help if it is severe.
  5. After each bath, let the baby’s buttocks air dry or expose them to sunlight to keep them dry.
  6. After each diaper change, clean the urine and feces on the diaper thoroughly. For female babies, wipe from front to back to avoid urinary tract infections.
  7. Carry soft wet wipes when out to deal with the difficulty of washing on the go.
  8. For redness of the buttocks caused by breast milk diarrhea, try using sesame oil or vegetable oil for care.
  9. Use high-quality disposable diapers and change them frequently. By following these methods, it is possible to effectively prevent and treat diaper rash in newborns.
