Why is the area around the child's anus red?

Every parent hopes that their child can grow up healthily, but after all, the child's body resistance is limited. After slowly taking shape, various abnormal conditions are likely to occur in this process. Redness around the child's anus is a typical one. There are many possible reasons. Parents need to have a comprehensive understanding of common factors and make judgments based on the child's situation. So, what’s the matter with the redness around the child’s anus? Let’s take a look below.

1. Caused by getting angry

Normally, the baby's anus is pink, but when there is internal heat in the large intestine, the baby's anus will turn red. The darker the color, the greater the internal heat in the baby's body. If you find that the area around the baby's anus is red, it may be a factor of internal heat. You should eat more fruits or vegetables that can reduce internal heat, and try to choose white radish juice, pear juice, etc.

2. Improper butt cleaning

Some new mothers lack experience in caring for their babies. If they do not clean their baby's buttocks in time or clean them excessively, the natural sebum membrane on the baby's buttocks will be easily damaged, giving dirt and bacteria an opportunity to take advantage. When bathing your baby, be sure to be moderate, try to choose warm water, keep the baby's buttocks dry, and try to apply diaper cream after washing the baby's buttocks.

3. Not changing diapers in time

Babies absorb food quickly and excrete more, they need to urinate about ten times a day. If the diaper is not changed in time after each urination, it is easy for the buttocks to be in a humid and stuffy environment for a long time, coupled with lack of ventilation, which can lead to diaper rash. It is recommended to check the child's diaper every hour. If the child urinates or defecates, change it in time. Clean the baby's bottom every time you change the diaper.

4. Caused by baby diarrhea

When the baby's abdomen gets cold or has allergies, it is easy to cause diarrhea. A large amount of excreted feces and some irritants in urine can easily cause redness of the buttocks. If the baby has diarrhea, be sure to clean the skin.

5. Caused by allergies

Some babies have allergic skin. If they use diapers with high levels of chemical fiber ingredients or frequently use laundry detergents with irritating ingredients, it is easy to cause allergies on the baby's buttocks, resulting in redness around the anus. Try not to use diapers with chemical fiber ingredients and irritating detergents for your children in your life.
