How to avoid diaper rash in newborns. A mixture of decoctions of succession with oak bark. Video: What to do with diaper rash in a newborn

Diaper rash (diaper rash) is a very common problem. The kid whimpers and is nervous, sleeps badly, because irritated skin worries the baby - it hurts, bakes and itches. At the sight of the blushed priests, relatives immediately begin to reproach the young mother, who “marinates” the child in disposable diapers all day. In fact, the diaper is not the only cause of diaper dermatitis, there are many factors that can lead to diaper rash, and only by finding out and eliminating the real cause, you can get rid of this trouble. The main reasons are as follows.

1. Defecation: effects on the skin

Babies tend to have frequent urination and stools. Therefore, the contact of the baby's skin with urine and feces is one of the most common causes of diaper rash. Urine itself, with prolonged contact with the skin, can cause irritation due to the uric acid present in it. However, the harmful effects of urine increase significantly if it is mixed with feces: under the action of bacteria from the child's stool, urine breaks down and ammonia is formed (a rather aggressive chemical compound). In addition, fecal enzymes - protease and lipase - have damaging properties. The situation becomes more complicated if the baby has diarrhea, while the feces have an acidic reaction, and even a short contact with the skin can lead to diaper rash.

2. Violation of the rules for the use of disposable diapers

High-quality disposable diapers, when used correctly, are not in themselves a factor provoking diaper dermatitis. Rather, on the contrary, quickly absorbed into the diaper, urine does not come into contact with the skin and does not irritate it.

But, nevertheless, if the diaper does not absorb urine well and quickly, the baby's skin remains wet for a long time, which contributes to diaper rash.

The likelihood of developing diaper dermatitis increases if the diaper is not changed for a long time. When overfilled, the sorbent properties of the diaper are reduced, and urine is in contact with the skin for longer. The optimal diaper change frequency is once every 3-4 hours and immediately after a bowel movement. Sometimes, despite fairly frequent diaper changes, diaper rash can still appear in children with very sensitive or allergic skin.

3. Wrong care when changing a diaper

Wash your baby with water at every diaper change, regardless of whether the skin looks clean or not. After defecation, the child must be washed with baby soap. It is advisable to use hypoallergenic baby soap, such as Baby Soap "Kokha", which is plant-based. It contains natural tropical oils and herbal ingredients that gently cleanse and care for baby's sensitive skin, protecting it from drying out. The calendula extract, which is part of the Krokha soap, has antibacterial properties, relieves inflammation and well heals damage to the skin, eliminates dryness and flaking. And wheat extract moisturizes and softens the skin, has anti-inflammatory properties and is a natural source of vitamin E.

If you need to change a diaper outside the home, and there is no access to water, it is best to use wet wipes. Baby wipes should be soft and delicate, such as Baby Wipes. They gently cleanse the sensitive skin of the baby from impurities and protect it from the occurrence of diaper rash. Napkins "Krokha" are made of a special soft and delicate material with cotton and soaked in a lotion with an extract of wheat, aloe and natural vitamins E and B5 (panthenol).

4. Friction

If the diaper is worn incorrectly, it can chafe, and damaged areas of the skin are especially susceptible to the effects of urine and feces. In addition, hard clothes or seams can rub the skin. Therefore, when choosing clothes for your baby, give preference to things made from soft cotton. For newborns, it is better to buy clothes with seams on the outside.

5. Allergy

The cause of diaper rash may be hypersensitivity to various chemical compounds. For example, an allergic reaction in the form of diaper rash can be caused by fragrances that are used in disposable diapers, or powders that are used to wash cloth diapers.

Allergic manifestations can occur in response to the use of cosmetics. Baby cosmetics - lotions, powders, creams, wipes can irritate the baby's sensitive skin if they contain harmful chemical compounds (parabens, dyes, synthetic oils and refined products, etc.). Therefore, it is better to give preference to children's cosmetics that do not contain allergenic components and are made only on a natural and vegetable basis, such as Krokha cosmetics. It does not cause allergic reactions and its safety is confirmed by dermatological studies. Children's cosmetics "Krokha" is recommended by the Research Institute of Pediatrics of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation for use in caring for babies from the first days of life.

6. Nutrition

The cause of diaper rash may be new foods in the baby's diet. Very often, diaper rash appears precisely when complementary foods begin to be introduced, or just some new product. Against the background of a new diet, the composition of the stool changes, and the likelihood of skin irritation increases. When breastfeeding, the baby's skin can react to the foods eaten by the mother.

7. Food intolerance

Lactase deficiency, when the child does not have enough lactase enzyme that digests milk carbohydrates, is also accompanied by diaper rash. With this disease, the stool is liquid, frequent and has an acidic reaction, which is very harmful for the skin of the child.

The occurrence of diaper rash may be accompanied by food allergies. In this case, most likely, redness of the skin and rashes will be not only on the skin under the diaper, but also on the cheeks, behind the ears, etc. The appearance or increase in diaper rash will coincide with the consumption of an allergenic product by a child or a nursing mother.

8. Overheating

If the temperature in the room where the baby is located is too high, or the baby is dressed too warmly, the skin under the diaper overheats and sweats. High humidity leads to the fact that diaper rash occurs. Therefore, it is important not to overheat the baby and dress, focusing on the ambient temperature.

9. Infection

The development of a bacterial or fungal skin lesion will also be visually similar to diaper rash. However, there are also differences. Candidiasis (thrush) occurs in babies whose mothers have thrush of the genitals, nipples, or take antibiotics while continuing to breastfeed.

As a rule, candida primarily affects the baby's oral mucosa, which manifests itself in the form of inflammation - redness, swelling of the mucous membranes, and white patches in the oral cavity. Over time, the process can spread, affecting the rest of the mucous membranes and the skin around the anus. In some cases, candidiasis is not the root cause of diaper rash, but occurs as a result of a violation of the barrier function of damaged skin. Treatment in this case can only be prescribed by a doctor, since antifungal agents are prescribed for candidiasis.

What to do if there are rashes?

Dryness and cleanliness is the key to a quick and successful treatment of diaper rash. Diapers need to be changed regularly. When changing a diaper, leave the baby to lie naked for a while, the air dries diaper rash very well and accelerates healing.

When washing your baby, use only warm water. This will help eliminate the cause of diaper rash in case they were associated with an allergic reaction to detergents. After washing, do not rub the skin, but gently blot with a soft cotton cloth.

If the diapers you're using don't absorb moisture well enough, try changing to better ones. You can use both cloth diapers and disposable ones, since there is no reliable evidence that any of them are more effective in terms of preventing or treating diaper rash.

It is best to check with your pediatrician before using any medications to treat diaper rash. With diaper rash on the skin under the diaper, it is recommended to apply creams, such as baby cream "Baby". It contains olive oil, vitamin E, panthenol and pine nut oil, which moisturize and protect the skin well. So oil from pine nuts is used for diaper rash, diathesis, for the prevention of childhood dermatitis, wound healing, erosion, burns and inflammation. It relieves itching, redness, swelling and soothes the skin. Panthenol, which is part of the cream "Krokha", relieves inflammation and promotes the speedy healing of diaper rash. Apply the cream every time you change your baby's diaper.

Prevention of diaper rash

  1. Change diapers as often as possible, preferably every 3-4 hours.
  2. The size of the diaper should correspond to the weight of the child.
  3. Wash your child after each bowel movement, and let the skin dry after washing.
  4. You can not wipe the baby's skin with a towel, you need to gently blot it.
  5. Do not use powder that contains talc - preferably based on corn starch. Pour the powder first on your hand and only then apply to the baby's skin. Do not use powder at the same time as cream or oil. When changing a diaper, thoroughly wash out the remnants of the powder in the folds of the skin.
  6. Keep the diaper loose so that air can circulate underneath. The baby's clothes should be loose so that the diaper does not press against the skin.
  7. Do not use detergents that contain fragrances or fabric softeners to wash cloth diapers. Rinse powders thoroughly, turn on the extra rinse function when machine washing.
  8. When introducing complementary foods, give no more than one new product every 5-7 days, so you can accurately identify the product that provokes allergic manifestations, including diaper rash.

If diaper rash occurs, try not to start, but immediately begin treatment, since in the initial stages it is much easier to eliminate them than when the process has already spread. Take care of your kids and be healthy!

Discussion

I also remember bathing a child with diaper rash. Such bathing helped, but not much to be honest. Even the diapers were changed to the most expensive ones, and then, on the advice of the girls from the forum, she began to process diaper rash with panthenol (I took it with a smiley face and now I only take it). And to be honest, I was surprised that even without bathing in various tinctures, our diaper rash went away. Yes, and she herself has already used this spray a couple of times for burns, the result is amazing.

Wash, do not forget to let the ass ventilate, watch what diapers you take and everything will be fine. But if you already ran into diaper rash, then the best thing is not a cream, but desetin, mal. Zinc and fish oil, at a time removes

There should be no diaper rash if you take good diapers that allow the baby's skin to breathe, and you need to change them on time. Then all sorts of mazilki are not needed at all.

We never had any breakouts. Somehow we tried to avoid their appearance and we succeeded. The article is very useful for young mothers. Thank you.

Thank God for my girls, the problem of diaper rash has bypassed so far. I know firsthand about the scale of such a problem, oh, and my daughter-in-law suffered from this ailment. She has a baby (he is now a year and 2) somewhere in the period from 3 months to 10 suffered from diaper rash between the legs. The daughter-in-law is young, she trusted traditional medicine, she didn’t want to hear anything about the presence of medical cosmetics, they say, chemistry. And you yourself know how quickly herbal lotions will help. It’s not just to pour boiling water over it, as she did, and not just to blot it. There is a special procedure for brewing and tincture of herbs, you need to keep the lotion on the affected area of ​​the skin for at least 10-15 minutes. And how to do this with a child that is spinning and spinning in all directions? In short, it is easier to buy normal good medical cosmetics once, and not to come up with a new method of treatment every day.

1. Clotrimazole and Candide are the same, read the instructions. Only manufacturers are different and Candide is cheaper.
2. Pampers are suitable for some, but not for others. And this is connected not only with the brand and body structure, but also with where to buy them, where they are produced, etc. More details in this section: http://www.medicinform.net/deti/
3. Pampers should not lead to any diaper rash! This simply indicates a high temperature around, or an untimely replacement. For example, the only time we had diaper rash was in the 2nd week of life in the maternity hospital. They opened the diaper - and everything is red there. Never been at home. Even in summer, when we put it on at night and for a walk.

when my pimples already appear, then ointments do not help, it gets even worse. I save myself with an ordinary streptocide for 3 rubles. In a pharmacy, it is sold in powder, but in small crystals. I grind completely into dust and, together with powder, or just sprinkle a little on the affected area :) 2 times and the ass is in order.

like with a fungus there is such a small rash, or something.

It is difficult to distinguish them - it is easier to try the treatment. What helps with diaper rash (zinc creams or creams with panthenol such as Bepanthen) does not help with the fungus. At the same time, what helps against the fungus (soda solution, borax in glycerin, clotrimazole in creams) does not help anything else.
You can accurately determine with a skin scraping, but this is not a pleasant procedure, I would just try the options and watch the skin reaction.
It must also be borne in mind that if there is a thrush in the mouth or a fungus was found in the analysis, then the fungus is most likely on the priest.

Diaper rash in newborns- inflammatory skin lesions in children in places subject to prolonged friction, overheating and moisture. Diaper rash in the skin folds of a baby-baby is formed:

  1. in the groin
  2. armpits,
  3. on the pope, between the buttocks,
  4. pens,
  5. legs,

Code of diaper rash of skin folds according to ICD-10: L30.4 Erythematous diaper rash.

Today we will learn about the causes, symptoms and treatment of severe diaper rash in children, how and how to treat diaper rash in newborns, a baby at home.

Diaper rash in a child: causes, photo

The main causes of diaper rash in newborns depend more on the parents. When the baby begins to swaddle, put on a diaper, the skin is not ventilated, fertile ground appears for skin irritation and the appearance of an inflammatory process.

It is impossible not to swaddle, at the same time, make the newborn rest and ventilate the skin - an air bath, because the main cause of diaper rash in newborns is excess moisture under clothes and in bedding.

Don't rely on "perfect" diapers. They often cannot be used.

Remember, skin friction with diapers, diapers, clothes, bedding is the second reason for diaper rash. So check your baby. Dry the skin in time, lubricate the areas of incipient irritation with baby cream, adjust clothes, diapers or diapers.

The infection develops easily under the diaper. Humid and warm environment - a place for the development of bacteria, fungi.



Diaper rash: symptoms in newborns

Symptoms of diaper rash in newborns depend on the stage of the inflammatory process in the skin.

Consider three levels:

  1. The first stage is a slight hyperemia of the skin (redness, redness), without violating the integrity. We need prevention!
  2. The second stage is manifested by bright red eroded areas with a mass of microcracks. Sometimes a rash and pustules join. Here you need to start active treatment.
  3. The third stage is severe: the inflamed areas of the skin are brightly hyperemic, weeping cracks, peeling of the epidermis is possible. The skin of a newborn can easily become infected with fungi, bacteria with a further transition to microbial eczema.

In the second, third stage of inflammatory skin lesions, the child experiences:

  1. pain,
  2. burning,
  3. deterioration in well-being
  4. anxiety (crying)
  5. worsening sleep, appetite,
  6. it is possible to increase body temperature to subfebrile figures (up to 38 degrees).

Treatment of diaper rash in newborn boys and girls

Manifestations of skin inflammation and lesions in newborn boys and girls are identical. Moisture occurs:

  1. in the groin area
  2. in the armpits
  3. on arms, legs, neck.

The sooner you start treating your child, the better:

  1. change diapers more often
  2. let the baby's skin breathe (air baths),
  3. treat damaged skin.

Remember, changing the regimen and composition of a child's diet can upset the bowels. Watch your baby's nutrition, carefully introduce complementary foods. The appearance of diarrhea in children wrapped in a diaper and packed in a diaper increases humidity, accompanied by a negative effect on the skin of the child and also intestinal feces. Pathogenic microflora develops under these conditions faster, more actively and deeply affects the skin, causing its irritated and inflamed condition.

What to do: how to treat

It is necessary to prepare a decoction or infusion of a string or chamomile, which in the future will be useful to us for the treatment of diaper rash anywhere, here is a folk remedy - a recipe:

  1. Infusion: 1 tablespoon of crushed raw materials is poured into 200 ml. boiling water, infused for 2 hours (wrapping the vessel in a towel), filtered, stored in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days.
  2. Decoction: 1 tablespoon of crushed raw materials is poured into 200 ml. water, put on a slow fire and after boiling water, languish for 10-15 minutes on fire, cool, bring to the original volume with boiled water, filter. The broth is stored in the refrigerator for no more than two days.

These medicinal herbs are great for simple and quick rubbing of reddened, inflamed places, including in the groin area of ​​​​a child.

  • After you gave the child an air bath, the skin in the groin dried out,
  • take a cotton swab, soak it with the above infusion or decoction of string or chamomile and wipe the inflamed skin of the child.
  • Let it dry.
  • Then you can apply a protective zinc ointment.

You can treat diaper rash in a child with a light pink solution of potassium permanganate, also in the form of rubbing or baths.

You can add a decoction of oak bark to the solution (cook in the same way as in the recipe described above, but you need to simmer over low heat for longer - 20 - 30 minutes).

Try to wash children's things well with special children's products, rinse them thoroughly.

After bathing the child, dry it dry with a towel, napkin.

Diaper rash in the groin: treatment

Very often there are diaper rash in newborns in the groin. There is a large amount of fatty deposits in the groin area. The skin of the legs at the top rubs against each other, areas of weeping appear.

With minor damage, the main remedy is an air bath, therapeutic baths (or rubbing) with chamomile or string. Creams and ointments are not a very good treatment, because they do not contribute to full skin respiration.

Diaper rash on the pope: how to treat

No less often there are diaper rash on the pope in a newborn. The child lies more on his back, when he urinates and poops under himself, moisture accumulates below and the skin on the pope begins to be very irritated.

For good prevention of diaper rash on the buttocks and between them, pay more attention to the hygiene of the child. Change the diaper more often, feel under the baby to see if he is wet. Do not rely on expensive diapers, no matter how absorbent they are. Pampers are a necessary and convenient thing when you are on the road with a baby in your arms!

In a warm, humid place, bacteria develop faster, leading to the development of inflammation on the skin.

  1. Always monitor the condition of the child's skin (airing the skin and changing wet to dry underwear).
  2. Make special baths with a decoction or infusion of chamomile.
  3. In serious cases, take a slightly pink solution of potassium permanganate to help.

Diaper rash on the neck: what to do

Rarely, but there are weeping and on the neck.

Why? In fact, everything is simple. Larger babies have a lot of folds on the neck and weeping forms in them. Strong sweating and rubbing irritate delicate skin.

If inflammation is not treated, microcracks may appear in the skin, even pustules.

Every day, conduct hygienic baths in the form of rubbing the folds of the skin of the neck with a decoction of chamomile or a weak solution of potassium permanganate.

Dry the skin, you can lubricate it with an additional cream to reduce irritation and relieve inflammation.

Armpit diaper rash: treatment

Under the armpits, diaper rash occurs from constant sweating and rubbing of the skin against each other. Excess moisture and infection hide in the skin folds. What to do when the child is worried, naughty?

Take some preventive measures. Include in hygiene procedures baths from a weak solution of potassium permanganate, chamomile decoction, oak bark.

Timely treatment will give quick relief and recovery, with a severe form of inflammation, one cannot do without consulting a dermatologist or pediatrician. You will need to take more medication!

Weeping diaper rash: how to treat

In more severe stages, weeping diaper rash occurs in newborns. Medicines prescribed by a doctor are used here.

Remember that drugs in the form of creams are not prescribed on a fatty basis! Your skin needs to breathe! It is impossible to treat weeping inflamed skin surfaces with oils, ointments. They cover the area of ​​​​inflammation with a film, prevent healing.

For several days, lotions with the following composition are applied to weeping surfaces:

  • 1-2% tannin solution,
  • 0.25% silver nitrate solution
  • and 0.1% rivanol solution.

After the gradual disappearance of weeping, zinc paste is used. An emulsion with bactericidal substances has also proven itself in medical practice. These medications are prescribed by a doctor!

Severe diaper rash: what to do

The danger of severe diaper rash lies in their complex treatment and general deterioration in well-being in children.

Purulent inflammation occurs on the skin, the epidermis exfoliates. The load on the kidneys increases, as with burns. All this is serious, the development of a severe stage should not be allowed.

Weeping wounds may even appear. Treatment under the supervision and prescription of a pediatric doctor or dermatologist is strictly necessary. We need medicines - low-fat products. As we have already said, ointments and oils disrupt skin respiration, covering the inflammation with a film, and this is precisely what makes the healing process incredibly long and difficult.

Diagnosis of diaper rash in newborns

Diagnosis is carried out on the data of a visual examination by a dermatologist or pediatrician of the skin - to identify irritation and inflammation on the skin.

Sometimes, in serious cases of the disease, microscopic examinations are carried out: bacteriological culture, skin scraping for fungi.

It happens that the cause of weeping is allergic reactions to drugs, food, plant pollen, pet hair. You need an allergist.

  1. Minor reddening of the skin can be cured with simple hygiene and improved air exchange in inflamed areas.
  2. The child's clothes and bed must be dry!
  3. In time, change to a dry wet bed, diaper, baby diaper!
  4. Simple remedies: a decoction of chamomile (sequence), a weak solution of potassium permanganate - will help in uncomplicated cases.
  5. After each washing the baby and drying the skin, you can use Desitin cream. The product is good, protects and heals the skin of the child, which has an unpleasant odor due to the cod liver oil included in its composition.
  6. Cream Bepanthen contributes to the rapid healing of wounds.
  7. Can be used talc, starch, though they form lumps, and continue to rub the skin.
  8. Before starting self-treatment, consult a pediatrician, dermatologist.

What to process?

Skin needs to breathe! So creams and liniments for inflammation and irritation should not be greasy.

Make lotions of chamomile, string, 1-2% tannin solution.

You can wipe the child with a damp cloth soaked in the above solutions.

After wiping, bathing, blot the child's skin dry.

You can add the above-described folk remedies to the bath for bathing in water, take the baby out of the water, blot it dry, wipe it again with a decoction of a medicinal herb or a weak solution of manganese, blot it again, dress it.

Diaper rash in babies is a common reason that no one sleeps at home. Even the smallest redness in a soft spot in a baby can cause severe discomfort. As a result, children become capricious, sleep poorly, and demonstrate refusal to eat. A neglected form of diaper rash may be an indication for the appointment of antibiotic therapy. To avoid undesirable consequences will help the observance of some rules of prevention, caring for the baby. Every mother needs to know how to treat diaper rash.

A newborn baby is especially prone to diaper rash, as his skin is especially sensitive due to age-related characteristics.

At a very early age, the skin of the crumbs needs careful care with the help of special cosmetics. It is really undesirable to save on them, because healthy skin is one of the factors of health. It is the skin that creates the most powerful protection against harmful bacteria entering the body, and also participates in the processes of thermoregulation.

In infancy, babies often suffer from allergic reactions to diapers, creams (which are not suitable for this particular baby), and even with frequent contact with water. As a result, diaper rash appears on the baby's pope.

What is redness and what causes it

By and large, diaper rash in infants is an inflammatory process of the epidermis in certain areas (most often the butt, under the arm, collar zone), which are exposed to irritating factors. These include the friction created between the baby's skin and the diaper, as well as excessive moisture (sweat).

Most often, the baby may be disturbed by the occurrence of diaper rash in the armpits, neck, inguinal folds, and the lower abdomen.

Such irritations on the skin can be different in severity, ranging from slight redness to the appearance of cracks, small and large sores. Naturally, you can not start inflammation, start treatment without delay.

Causes of inflammation

The main cause of diaper rash lies in the violation of the natural protective mechanisms of the skin as a result of prolonged exposure to temperature, physical, chemical irritants. This leads to the creation of optimal conditions for the reproduction of harmful bacteria. They are the main culprits of diaper rash.

Creating a suitable habitat for pathogenic bacteria on the skin is very simple, this leads to:

  1. Rare diaper change. Often diaper rash occurs if the skin is in contact with his stool for a long time.
  2. The temperature in the room is too high.
  3. Wearing clothes made of synthetic materials by a child.

Also, the causes of diaper rash on the pope can be:

  1. Allergic reaction to the sorbent or diaper material.
  2. Allergy to foods consumed by the mother during lactation.

How to fix the situation

Treatment of diaper rash in infants involves the elimination of the causes by which they are caused.

Diaper rash on the pope of a baby cannot be “launched”. In the initial stage, it is much easier to cure it than to start treating the resulting wounds and cracks.

"Light" diaper rash often do not require specific treatment. Most often, it is possible to solve this problem by observing the elementary rules for caring for a baby:

Newborn babies have very sensitive skin. Even with the slightest irritation, she is prone to inflammation. Then the child becomes capricious, cries a lot. Most often, babies have diaper rash on the pope. The skin at this site is constantly exposed to moisture due to interaction with wet diapers or a diaper.

Diaper rash in newborns often manifests itself on the neck, behind the ears, under the knees, in the armpits and inguinal region, on the pope.

Inflammation can manifest itself in different ways depending on the stage of the disease:

1) At the initial stage, the skin only slightly reddens. The child is calm. With this form, it is enough just to monitor the hygiene of the baby and follow simple rules:

  • control the dryness of the skin of the child, change diapers or diapers;
  • change brand of diaper
  • arrange water procedures after each diaper change;
  • leave the baby naked for a few minutes;

Children behave restlessly, become capricious, eat and sleep badly. Body temperature may rise. Often the last stage of diaper rash is treated in a hospital.

Causes

The root cause of skin disease is inadequate care of the infant. Diaper rash on the pope in a child may appear with improper hygiene, nutrition or allergies. The presence of the following factors can provoke an inflammatory reaction on the skin of the baby:

  • inadequate hygiene of the baby. This includes infrequent diaper changes or improper skin care for the baby. The newborn needs to be washed away after each bowel movement;
  • excess moisture. It removes the natural protective film on the baby's skin, as a result of which bacteria penetrate the skin and cause inflammation. Diaper rash occurs with frequent urination and defecation, especially if the child has loose stools. Also, insufficiently dried skin after washing can contribute to its appearance;
  • the use of cheap diapers made from poor quality materials or the use of diapers that do not fit;
  • frequent exposure of the child's skin to synthetic materials (clothing, bed linen). Rubbing clothing can irritate the skin, especially at the folds;
  • allergy. It can appear when using inappropriate cosmetics, washing powder. If the baby's mother eats any allergen, it will also be passed on to the baby through breast milk;
  • child overheating. When the baby is too warmly dressed, he often sweats.

Diagnostics

The inflammation progresses very quickly. From slight redness to the appearance of erosion, it can take only a few hours, so do not hesitate to contact a doctor. Self-medication in this case is not permissible.

To make a diagnosis, a pediatrician may only need a visual examination of the child. If you suspect an allergic reaction, you will need to consult an allergist.

The attending physician may send for additional tests (bakposev and scraping) if there is a risk of infection of the baby with an infection or fungus. A characteristic sign of complications is the presence of purulent vesicles or bleeding of the wound.
