Question
The newborn’s lower body has developed red rashes and bumps, diagnosed as a diaper rash. Is it still safe to use diapers?
Answer
Diaper rash is a common skin issue that can typically be treated with medication. During treatment, diapers can still be used, but it’s important to keep the affected area dry and clean, avoiding friction and irritation. Additionally, you can try using non-slip diapers or reducing the time spent in diapers to alleviate the symptoms of the rash. For prevention, it is recommended to change diapers regularly, maintain dryness of the baby’s buttocks, and use gentle cleaning products.
