Red farts, also known as diaper rash, are mainly concentrated in areas where there is direct contact with urine and poop, such as the baby's lower abdomen, buttocks, thigh roots and perianal areas.
When the parents see the baby's red ass, they often blame themselves, are heartbroken, and even wish they can suffer for the baby.
Replacing the baby is impossible, in the process of caring for the baby, we must first find the reason for the baby's red fart.
The cause of the baby's red ass
1. Diaper change is not timely
Baby's skin is delicate, when the baby pees or pulls, if the replacement is not timely, the skin will be stuffy in the hot flashes or diapers, soaked for too long, the surface will become loose.
Coupled with the multiplication of bacteria in urine or poop, this loose skin is more likely to become red, even inflamed and ulcerated.
2. Friction of clothing or external forces
When nursing the baby, if the bedding and diaper material that the parents cover the baby are not breathable, the size of the clothing is not appropriate, or the force is too large when wiping the baby's fart, and the paper towel used is rough, it is easy to make the baby's skin rub, red or scratched.
3. Excessive humidity
Baby's armpits, groin, buttocks and other folds, bathe the baby, did not dry the water in these parts completely, and then put on the baby clothes and diapers, resulting in these parts prone to redness.
In addition, the neck, when the baby overflows milk to the neck, there is no timely care, and it is easy to appear "drowning the neck",
4. Chemical irritation
After the baby is born, the contact with chemicals such as laundry detergent, bath liquid, shampoo, and wet paper towels, if the substances inside are more irritating, it is also easy to irritate the baby's delicate skin.
The baby is red ass, how should the mothers take care of it?
The vast majority of red farts do not develop particularly badly, and as long as the care is proper, it usually recovers after 3-4 days.
Mild diaper rash:
The baby's skin is better overall, no symptoms, only a small part of the bulge has erythema,
The first step is to change the diaper in time
Choose diapers with good breathability, increase the frequency of replacing diapers, and replace them in time as long as the urine is pulled.
Second, do not wipe after cleaning the little fart
Pull, be sure to wash with warm water, after washing, use a cotton towel or soft cloth to absorb the water, or dry naturally, do not wipe.
If you want to use disposable wipes, choose ones that do not contain fragrances and alcohol to reduce skin irritation.
The third step is to apply a layer of buttock cream
Choosing a buttock cream that contains zinc oxide can act as a barrier protector for your baby's skin.
Some parents will give their babies talk powder, and it is recommended not to use it.
Because tamat powder is prone to clumping after moisture, the folds of the skin will hinder the volatilization of surface moisture, irritate the skin, and easily aggravate the diaper rash.
Fourth, do not wrap the diaper too tightly
Do not wrap the diaper too tightly, especially if the diaper is not wet overnight, if you loosen it, you can reduce the friction between the wet dirt and the skin on the diaper.
If red farts are not good for more than three days, it is easy to develop moderate to severe diaper rash.
At this time, most of them will see patches of erythema, papules, papules or small blisters on the erythema, and even erosion exudate or shallow ulcers, pustules, etc.
At this time, it is necessary to use ointment to treat, it is recommended that parents take their babies to seek medical treatment and use appropriate ointments.
However, after applying these drugs, it is still necessary to apply a layer of buttock cream to isolate the stimulation of fecal urine on the fart.
In short, the baby suffers from diaper rash, which will hurt and itch, which is very uncomfortable.
