Why is the child's buttocks red?

Some children always feel that their anus is particularly red when changing diapers. Even after cooling, they cannot get any relief at all. It may also cause the baby to absorb faster, which will definitely cause very adverse effects on the baby's body. Therefore, you must pay attention to your baby's cleanliness and hygiene, and disinfect the baby's underwear as much as possible to avoid bacterial infection again.

Causes of baby's red bottom

1. Diapers are not changed in time.

Babies absorb quickly and excrete quickly. Babies need to urinate about 10-14 times a day. If the diaper is not changed in time after each wetness, the skin on the baby's buttocks will be in a humid and stuffy environment for a long time and will form diaper rash.

2. Improper cleaning of the baby’s butt.

Nowadays, some new mothers fail to clean their baby's butt in time due to lack of experience, while some mothers over-clean and destroy the natural sebum protective film on the baby's butt, giving bacteria and dirt an opportunity to take advantage. Therefore, parents should help their baby clean in moderation. Cleaning too much or too little will hurt the baby's delicate little butt.

3. Physiological diarrhea or breast milk diarrhea.

Some babies have diarrhea due to lactose intolerance or various other reasons. At this time, the irritants in the feces and urine will also make the baby's buttocks red. If the baby has diarrhea, parents must take good care of cleaning the baby's butt.

4. Allergy.

Because some babies have allergic constitutions, and some mothers use diapers containing more chemical fibers for their babies, or often use cleaning solutions, wet wipes and other items containing irritating ingredients, which causes skin allergies on the baby's buttocks. This is also one of the causes of red buttocks.

What to do if your baby has a red butt

The main reason for the baby's red buttocks is that the baby's buttocks are soaked in urine and remain damp for a long time, so the mother should change the diaper herself and expose the baby's buttocks to the air or sunlight more often. Wash it with warm water or 4% boric acid water, dry it, and then apply some vegetable oil. Do not use soap to wash your buttocks.

1. Keep your skin dry

If the temperature or room temperature conditions permit, you can put a diaper under the buttocks to fully expose the buttocks to the air or sunlight, 2-3 times a day, each time for 10-20 minutes. Generally, the red buttocks will recover in 1-2 days.

2. Change diapers in time

For mild diaper rash with only local skin flushing, the buttocks should be kept clean and dry, and wet diapers should be replaced in time. Even disposable diapers should be changed regularly, and cannot be mechanically changed every 8 hours.
