Almost every baby will experience "red buttocks", and as long as parents take good care of them, the condition of red buttocks can quickly disappear. But some people find that their babies often have red buttocks repeatedly, which makes them very annoyed. So, what is the reason for the baby's repeated red buttocks?
1. Not changing diapers in a timely manner. Moisture is the primary cause of red buttocks in babies. When a baby defecates or urinates, if parents do not clean it up in a timely manner, ammonia producing bacteria in the stool will break down urea in urine to produce ammonia, stimulating the baby's delicate skin. In addition, the soaking of urine can cause the baby to repeatedly develop red buttocks.
2. Habitually only use wet wipes for treatment. Many parents habitually use wet wipes to clean their babies' diapers before putting them on. But such behavior can cause the baby's buttocks to turn red. This is an inner wet wipe containing cleaning solution, which can irritate the baby's skin and be harmful to their skin. So when parents clean their baby's buttocks, it is best to use clean tissues.
3. Rub talcum powder on the baby's buttocks. Many parents will apply talcum powder to their baby's skin to make it smooth and prevent heatstroke. So many parents still use talcum powder to wipe their baby's buttocks, but this can cause the baby's buttocks to turn red. This is because talcum powder will clump after absorbing water, which not only cannot keep the baby's buttocks dry, but also stimulates the baby's skin, which is harmful to the baby's body.
