Many parents have reported that their babies often experience red and painful buttocks, and they do not know where the problem lies or how to solve it. So what should I do if my baby's anus is red and painful, and how can I say goodbye to them?
Firstly, most babies' red and painful anus is caused by diarrhea, as their skin is delicate and they often have diarrhea. The anus can be very moist, which can cause redness and swelling. In addition, parents may not apply enough force when wiping their children's feces, and over time, the anus will become red and painful again. So it is recommended that parents do not apply too much force when wiping their babies' buttocks, and apply an extra layer of baby powder to greatly alleviate the symptoms of red and painful buttocks.
Secondly, redness and pain in the baby's anus can cause discomfort in the baby's body, leading to constant crying and fussing. Parents must be patient and follow the doctor's advice at this time. Apply erythromycin eye ointment or buttock cream to the baby's anus to keep it dry. During the application process, it is best for parents to use their fingertips to apply medication to their baby's anus with gentle force, so that the symptoms of redness and pain in the baby's anus can be relieved.
In addition, when taking care of the baby, do not wear diapers for a long time, because if diapers are worn for a long time, the moisture and dampness inside can cause the baby's anus to be red and painful. If possible, it is recommended that parents use pure cotton diapers for the baby, because pure cotton diapers have good breathability and are less irritating to the baby's skin, which can better protect the baby's delicate buttocks.
