What to do if baby's bottom is red

Nowadays, family conditions are gradually improving, and the environment for children to grow up in is getting better and better. However, taking care of your children too carefully may lead to many problems, such as redness of the baby's buttocks. If it is not treated effectively, it will develop further and even cause complications such as acne and inflammation. So, what should we do if the baby’s butt is red? Let’s take a comprehensive look at it below.

If your baby's bottom already has a red color, don't keep him wearing diapers all day. When the baby is clean from peeing, take off the diaper, wash the baby thoroughly, dry it with a dry bath towel and don't put it on again. Use diapers when you go out and when you sleep. At other times, if you can help your baby pee, just use diapers. Try to keep your bottom dry and avoid contact with wet and plastic products;

If the anus is red, do not use toilet paper. Instead, wipe it gently with a soft paper towel or wet wipes. It is best to use a paper towel and then a wet wipe to clean it thoroughly. Then wash the baby's butt. You can put on small pants that show the back. For small babies, just leave them hanging. Be careful not to let the baby get too cold, let the baby lie on his stomach to dry his butt, or apply some talcum powder;

If the urethral opening is red, you should pay more attention, especially for baby girls, and be careful of inflammation. Wash your baby more often, spread his legs and let him air dry. If it is not serious, no special treatment is needed. If it is more red, you have to apply something. The most common thing is to apply some sesame oil, but be careful not to mix the front and back.

If you need to apply something on the anus, nurses in hospitals usually use Bactroban. This is not an advertisement, it's just used more frequently and is basically harmless. If you are worried about using it on your baby, you can also use erythromycin eye ointment. Of course, the premise is that your baby is not allergic to erythromycin. It is a relatively cheap medicine. Of course, the most common ones are the sesame oils or hand creams we use at home. These are natural things and are absolutely harmless to babies.

If it is not only red but also a little torn, then the only way is to keep the baby's bottom dry. This will be troublesome for parents. Not only do they have to keep an eye on the baby to see if he has poop or urinate, but they also have to keep cleaning and applying medicine to the baby. So in order to prevent the baby from getting so serious, it is better to do a good job of dry care when using diapers at the beginning! Avoid the baby from feeling uncomfortable and the parents from being tired and irritable;

Another situation is that the baby is allergic to a certain brand of diapers, or the baby's skin is originally delicate and the baby's butt becomes red after being allergic to plastic things. In this case, parents can only trouble the baby to wash the diapers constantly, otherwise the baby will become red and uncomfortable as soon as it touches the diapers. What to do? The only way is to stay away from allergens. Washing diapers by hand is the most convenient way, of course, the premise is that the diapers should be made of pure cotton.

The above is an introduction to what to do if your baby’s butt is red. I hope it will be helpful to parents. Redness of the baby's buttocks is a problem that most parents will encounter. In our daily life, once a similar situation occurs in a child, we must pay attention to it. It is best to take these measures to deal with it so that the child can recover as soon as possible and avoid more adverse consequences.
