My baby's buttocks are red, what should I do?

We all know that newborn babies have relatively poor physical fitness. After all, their body functions are not fully developed. Therefore, at this time, babies will easily be infected with bacteria and their skin will become red. For example, mothers sometimes find that their baby's anus is red. Regarding this problem, the editor will talk to you today about some treatment suggestions.

If a baby has a red butt, it is caused by urine. The baby needs to change diapers frequently and pay attention to the cleanliness and dryness of the baby's butt. Be sure to clean it after each urination and defecation, and wipe it properly with warm water, keep it dry, and take good care of it.

1. When diaper rash is severe, temporarily stop using diapers and let the child's buttocks be exposed to the air. If the child is lying in bed, you can put several layers of diapers under the body and put plastic sheets under the diapers to avoid dirtying the mattress. Remember not to put the plastic sheet close to the child's buttocks to avoid affecting ventilation.

2. Choose pure cotton cloth for diapers and change them frequently. Diapers should be washed and ironed and then dried in the sun before use.

3. When washing your baby's butt, use warm water instead of soap to reduce local irritation.

4. Wear loose clothes, don't be too warm, and change your underwear to soft cotton;

5. Avoid using talcum powder. Because the powder is easy to harden after absorbing water, it not only cannot keep the local area dry, but also irritates the baby's skin

6. Of course, the treatment of children's red buttocks is the key. Apply ointment in time. It is not recommended to use ointments containing hormones. You can use the Dihu Baby Plant Skin Cream to apply to your child. This is very effective for children's red buttocks and has no side effects.

7. Clean your baby’s buttocks frequently. The baby's anus is red and uncomfortable, so you should clean the baby's buttocks in time, especially after defecation. Remember to use warm water and wash from the urethra to the anus to avoid infection. After washing, it is best to let it dry for a while and then wipe it clean with a clean cotton mesh cloth.

8. Apply hot compress with a hot towel. Soak the towel in hot water for a while, wring it dry and apply it around the baby's anus when it is no longer hot. Apply it for about 5 minutes. Do hot compress 3-5 times a day for a week and the redness and swelling of the baby's anus will be significantly reduced.

The above are some suggestions on treating baby’s red anus that I want to share with you mothers today. I hope my sharing will be helpful to you. The editor would like to remind all mothers to pay more attention to their baby’s physical condition and their hygiene, otherwise they will easily be infected with bacteria. I also wish your baby good health.
