Question
A two-and-a-half-year-old baby’s vulva is often red and swollen, painful. What are the possible causes and solutions?
Answer
According to the description, the baby’s vulva redness and swelling with pain may be due to diaper rash or seborrheic dermatitis. It is recommended that parents take the baby to a dermatology department in a hospital for consultation and perform a fungal test for diagnosis. Under the guidance of a doctor, treatment should be carried out, and attention should be paid to keeping the baby’s vulva clean and dry. Avoid using hot water and soap; use warm water for cleaning, and apply talcum powder to prevent itching and urine irritation.
