What is the cause of the red anus in children? How to deal with it

Children's skin is relatively tender and can easily turn red if it is stimulated. There are many reasons why a child's anus becomes red. You may want to look at the reasons below to find the correct cause so that you can better deal with it.

1. Diarrhea

(1) Cause Analysis:

Some babies have diarrhea due to lactose intolerance or various other reasons. At this time, the irritants in the feces and urine can also cause the anus to turn red.

(2) Recommendations:

If the baby has diarrhea, parents must take good care of cleaning the baby's butt.

2. Allergies

(1) Cause Analysis:

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 reasons for the redness around the baby's anus.

(2) Recommendations:

Avoid using diapers that contain a lot of chemical fibers, and avoid contact with allergens such as cleaning solutions and wet wipes that contain irritating ingredients, and stay away from allergens. This way, the baby with an allergic constitution will not come into contact with allergens, and will not stimulate the body to react strongly to the allergens, inducing allergies.

3. Getting angry

(1) Cause Analysis:

The baby's anus is normally pink, but it will turn red when there is heat in the intestines. The darker the color, the greater the heat in the baby's body.

(2) Recommendations:

Once you find that the area around the baby's anus is red, you should give the baby some vegetables or fruits that can remove heat. Generally, you can use shredded pears or shredded white radish, and let the juice come out for the baby to drink. It is very effective.

4. Improper cleaning of the baby’s butt

(1) Cause Analysis:

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.

(2) Recommendations:

Parents should help their baby clean in moderation, using warm water, keeping the baby's buttocks dry, and apply diaper cream after each wash.

5. Diaper changes are not timely

(1) Cause Analysis:

Babies absorb 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 exposed to moisture and heat for a long time, which will cause diaper rash and red anus.

(2) Recommendations:

Wash your baby's diaper area thoroughly with every diaper change. Some parents place cotton balls, a spray bottle, or a thermos of warm water near their baby's diaper-changing area to make cleaning easier. After washing, remember to wipe the baby's skin dry and never rub it back and forth.
