Symptoms of baby's red butt

Every baby has very delicate, smooth, white and clean skin after birth, which is very popular. However, if parents fail to take good care of their baby, the baby is likely to be infected by external bacteria and develop a rash. Many babies will have red buttocks, and parents should pay attention to ventilating their baby's buttocks. Let's take a look at what are the symptoms of baby's red butt?

Generally speaking, if you provide timely care as soon as you discover that your baby has diaper rash, the situation will not be serious and will improve and heal in 3 to 4 days.

1 Choose the right diapers

Choose diapers that are of good quality and good breathability. If your baby has allergies, you can try changing to another brand. It is best to wash diapers in hot water and rinse them twice.

2. Wear diapers correctly

Whether it is a diaper or a nappy, leave some breathing space for the baby's butt and don't wear it too tight. When the weather is warm, try not to wear diapers, so that your baby's butt can be directly exposed to the air and sunlight to speed up the recovery of diaper rash.

After the baby urinates or defecates, the diaper should be changed promptly. After changing, the diaper area should be thoroughly cleaned with warm water to keep the baby's bottom clean and dry.

After cleaning your baby's bottom, you can gently pat it dry or blow dry it with a hair dryer on low. Do not wipe it repeatedly, otherwise it will destroy the skin's self-protection function.

If you find that your baby has a tendency to diaper rash, apply a layer of diaper cream after each wash to act as a protective layer for the skin.

In addition to diaper cream, there are many children's skin ointments on the market, including vaseline, zinc oxide preparations, lanolin preparations, etc., which can be used appropriately. In addition, if there is damage, you can apply erythromycin ointment or chloramphenicol eye ointment.

5. Regulate intestinal flora

If your baby is sick and needs antibiotics, you can take probiotics at the same time to regulate intestinal flora and prevent diaper rash.
