What to do if the child's anus is red and swollen

When children are young, their skin is very tender. Many times, a careless mistake may cause redness and swelling of the child's anus. Children use diapers when they are young, and improper selection of diapers may also cause redness and swelling of the child's anus. If the child's anus is red and swollen, parents can wipe it with warm water, which can improve the symptoms of redness and swelling of the child's anus. Let’s learn what to do if your child’s anus is red and swollen.

1. Feed some apple puree: scrape the apple flesh with a small spoon, feed as much as possible, or drink some honey water, which can solve the problem of constipation; (half an apple a day is enough) 2. If the anus is red and swollen, the child should be washed with warm water and soap when he has just finished defecating, but the soap must be clean; it is best to rinse with warm boiled water; 3. Apply erythromycin or chloramphenicol eye ointment thinly on the red and swollen anus. It will be effective after two times, but even after it is healed, you should still persist for a few days.

If it is simple diaper dermatitis (that is, there is no infection), you can apply baby skin care products such as chloramphenicol. If it is infected, apply ointments such as clotrimazole. Products containing hormones may cause a decrease in the baby's local skin resistance, aggravation of secondary infection, pigmentation and other problems. Therefore, the decision whether to use them should be made after consulting a doctor.

Do not use strong irritants such as soap and laundry detergent to wash diapers. Diapers with urine on them should be scalded with boiling water and then washed with clean water; diapers with feces can be washed with non-alkaline items such as soap and then placed in the sun to dry. Or you can use the Dihu Baby Plant Skin Care Cream. Do not wipe the buttocks directly with a towel. After cleaning, gently dry it with a towel. When applying skin-maintaining 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.
