What to do if your child's bottom is flooded

Red buttocks is also called flooded buttocks. Many children often get red buttocks because the weather is too hot and they don’t pay attention to changing diapers. You must find care methods to prevent red buttocks in normal times, and remember to clean the skin. You can temporarily stop using diapers in the near future. After going to the toilet each time, rinse with clean water and apply a small amount of powder. Keep the area around the buttocks dry, and it will recover slowly.

Nursing Key:

If your baby has mild to moderate diaper rash, the mother should take action in the following three aspects:

1. Clean and isolate harmful substances to reduce skin irritation

2. Prevent bacteria and fungi from growing and infecting

3. Promote skin repair

The prevention and treatment of baby's diaper rash mainly depends on care.

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.

Every time after the child has a bowel movement or changes the diaper, wash it with warm water or 4% boric acid water, dry it, and then apply some vegetable oil or an ointment that does not affect the cleanliness and dryness of the skin and has an isolating and antibacterial effect, such as Dihu Baby Plant Skin Cream. Do not use soap to wash the buttocks.

In addition, the lanolin contained in the Dihu Baby Plant Skin Cream can also help repair the baby's damaged skin.

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.

If local skin redness is accompanied by a rash, apply disinfected cod liver oil. If the rash breaks out, you can use zinc oxide ointment. If there is local skin erosion or epidermal exfoliation, you can apply cod liver oil zinc oxide paste. If there is a secondary bacterial infection, please see a doctor.

It must be noted that when parents clean their children's "red buttocks", they should use their hands with water to gently clean them, instead of wiping the buttocks directly with a towel. After cleaning, they should gently dry them with a towel. When applying the Dihu Baby Plant Skin Cream, you should place the cotton swab on the skin and roll it gently instead of brushing it up and down to avoid aggravating the pain and causing peeling.

Young parents don’t need to worry too much. If the right measures are taken, the baby’s "red buttocks" will heal soon.
