How to remove urine scale in children?

Many parents will find urine scale on their children's genitals. In fact, this is caused by some hygiene habits. Urine scale is a mixture of urine and sebaceous gland secretions or desquamated epithelial cells. It can easily cause bacterial and fungal infections, so it must be carefully paid attention to.

1. When human urine is left for a long time, the acidity and alkalinity of urine change and precipitate is produced. Human urine is mostly acidic, but because the urea in it (the action of urease) gradually decomposes to produce ammonia or ammonium hydroxide, the acidity of urine changes from neutral to alkaline, so precipitation is produced accordingly. Uric acid, urate, calcium sulfate, calcium hydrogen phosphate, and sometimes several amino acids are precipitated in an acidic environment; calcium carbonate, ammonium magnesium phosphate, calcium phosphate, magnesium phosphate, ammonium urate, calcium oxalate, etc. are precipitated in an alkaline environment. Therefore, the composition of human urine precipitate is complex, but the main components are calcium phosphate and calcium oxalate.

2. This is caused by personal hygiene habits. Urine scale is a mixture of urine, sebaceous gland secretions or desquamated epithelial cells, which can easily lead to bacterial and fungal infections.

3. Boric acid or PP powder can be used for external washing or sitz bath. If accompanied by redness, swelling, pain and itching, you can use compound econazole, Bactroban and other ointments appropriately.
