What to do if your baby has skin ulcers

Among different groups of people, babies have a very strong metabolic capacity. If the hygiene and cleaning work is not kept up in time after metabolism, the presence of metabolites in the stomach and intestines will cause ulcers on the baby's skin. It can be seen that baby skin ulcers are a more serious condition. So, what should be done with baby skin ulcers?

In the second week after birth, the skin in the armpits, groin, buttocks, flexion surfaces of the limb joints, perineum and neck of obese infants often becomes red and eroded, with epidermis peeling off and clear edges. The skin temperature at the affected area is high, and the fluid in the seams produces a foul odor due to chemical changes. Sometimes secondary bacterial infection may occur. Dry the moisture in the pleats, then apply a little baby talcum powder to prevent the pleats from rotting.

First of all, you should ensure that the clothes, bedding and utensils used by the newborn are clean. Adults should wash their hands thoroughly before caring for newborns. Zhuyin: Observe the armpits, neck, groin and other areas carefully. Skin surface erosion is caused by accumulated sweat, irritation from vernix caseosa and friction between skins, especially in heavier newborns. Secondly, when bathing a newborn, the vernix caseosa in the armpits, neck, groin, etc. should be thoroughly cleaned to reduce irritation to the skin.

method:

1. Mothers should pay attention to using soft diapers as much as possible, not using too many diapers, and when using diapers, be careful not to make them too tight.

2. The mother should clean the baby's body every day, especially the areas with wrinkles, such as the neck, knee bends, thigh roots, armpits, lower abdomen, etc., which need to be cleaned carefully. Also use a non-irritating lotion.

3. After washing the baby, use a soft towel to slowly dry the water on the baby's body. If the weather is hot, you should also apply baby powder on your baby's body.

4. Clean the baby's buttocks after each urination or defecation to keep the baby's skin dry and prevent skin redness, swelling and ulceration. You also need to change your baby's diapers frequently, and the washed diapers should be exposed to the sun for disinfection.

Note: When your baby cries for no apparent reason, you should check the baby's body to see if there is any skin ulceration. If ulceration and scabs have appeared, mothers should not tear off the scabs, but avoid them and disinfect them every day.

From the above, we can see that in places where babies are prone to more active secretion of metabolites, parents should pay more attention when taking care of their babies. Once the baby is found to have skin ulcers, parents should not only pay attention to cleaning the ulcerated area, but also disinfect the baby's ulcerated area in time to prevent infection.
