What should I do if my baby’s genitals are red?

Now that the two-child policy has been fully opened, many families have already wanted a second child. For example, a family that previously gave birth to a son may want to have a daughter as the second child. This is called having both a son and a daughter, and is very happy. If you have a baby girl at home, in addition to paying attention to the baby's health, you should also pay attention to protecting her private parts. So, what should I do if my baby's genitals are red?

1. Actively give your baby some soups that can clear away heat and reduce internal heat. If a little girl's genitals become red, it is best not to think of medication first. It is best to think about whether it is caused by internal heat. You can choose some heat-clearing and fire-removing soups for the baby to drink, which can achieve the effect of removing heat and fire. At the same time, pay attention to the hygiene of the baby's genitals, clean them in time, and wipe the urine from the genitals after the child urinates, which can make the baby more comfortable.

2. Clean moderately and apply with scented oil. It is best to clean a baby girl's genitals every day, but sometimes excessive cleaning can cause the baby's genitals to become red. It should be noted that when cleaning the baby's genitals, you can use warm water of appropriate temperature. After washing, you can use boiled and cooled sesame oil to apply on the baby's genitals, which will be very effective.

3. If the baby has genital eczema, it is best to clean the baby's genitals in time. Use cold boiled water and then light salt water when cleaning. This is beneficial to the recovery of eczema and the restoration of health of the baby's genitals.
