Once the newborn's buttocks are red, it is necessary to do a good job of nursing the buttocks at the same time of treatment, so as to help the buttocks recover as soon as possible.
First of all, pay attention to keep your hips dry, and change diapers in time when they are wet. Newborn diapers should be soft and absorbent old cotton cloth or cotton cloth, such as old sheets and cotton underwear. This is not only soft, but also breathable, and newborns will feel very comfortable. Diapers can't be wrapped in plastic sheets, because sealing is not conducive to the dissipation of damp heat, and it is easy to cause or aggravate the redness and swelling of the buttocks. For example, in order to prevent the diaper from wetting the bedding, a small cotton pad or a small cloth pad can be placed under the diaper. In hot summer, when the room temperature is high, the buttocks can be completely exposed, so that the buttocks of newborns are often kept dry.
Secondly, pay attention to the cleanliness of diapers. The changed diapers must be cleaned. If there is dirt on the diaper, it needs to be cleaned with soap or washing powder with little alkalinity, and then rinsed with clear water several times to completely remove alkaline traces, otherwise it will irritate the buttocks. After cleaning, the diapers should be scalded with boiling water, wrung out and dried in the sun to achieve the purpose of disinfection and sterilization. In addition, after each defecation, you should rinse your buttocks with clear water to keep them clean locally. When the skin is red, especially when it is broken, don't wash it with soap to avoid local irritation.
For the treatment of hip redness, tannic acid ointment can be used externally; If the skin is damaged, you can apply zinc oxide oil to help absorption and promote epithelial growth. As long as you pay attention to the skin of the buttocks while treating, the buttocks will soon get better. Wish the baby health and happiness!
