Is there something more tender than the baby's skin, especially the infant age? The skin of the baby is so vulnerable that it requires special care: bathing, soaking, moisturizing. But sometimes, despite all efforts, my mother discovers that the child has a red priest and a rash has appeared. This is how irritation manifests itself, which causes discomfort to the baby, and Mom - anxiety and emotions. Many inexperienced parents are worried about why a child has a red pop and how to deal with it.
The causes of irritation on the pope in children
Skin crumbs are much thinner than adults, so it can not fully perform the necessary protective function. In addition, its acid balance is reduced. All this increases the possibility of penetration of pathogens through the layers of the skin, and freely reproduce on its surface.
One of the most common causes of redness and rash on the pope in children is the reaction to diapers. Because of prolonged contact with urine, feces and overheating, the baby's skin is moist and does not breathe. So there is diaper rash or diaper dermatitis, which are characterized by reddened areas rising above the surface of the skin, sometimes with wetting elements. With a strong intertrigo, even sores on the child's priests may appear.
But sometimes the appearance of a rash on the baby's buttocks is not related to wearing diapers. Irritation can also be a manifestation of an allergy to the child's pride. Such a reaction is caused by a new baby cream for a diaper, a cleanser, a new laundry detergent washed with new clothes or new diapers. The allergy looks like small red pimples with scaly spots. In addition, she delivers discomfort, because the baby itches the priest because of itching.
Rash and irritation manifests a food allergy, or diathesis on the child's pope, caused by breast milk or new foods in the baby's nutrition.
The irritation of the baby's priests can also be caused by liquid feces with diarrhea.
How to get rid of irritation on the pope in children?
First of all, mother needs to determine the "culprit" of the appearance of irritation. To exclude allergies, you need to remember that she or a new baby was eating, what new means for bathing and washing were used. If you find this, a household item or a food product should be excluded. After that, parents should observe whether the child has lost pimples, spots, rashes, redness on the pope. To treat irritations from allergies, a nursing mother will have to follow a diet. If necessary, you need to change the brand of diapers or care products. But in any case, you should consult a pediatrician. If the allergy is confirmed, the doctor will prescribe an antihistamine medication (fenistil, suprastin, zirtec) with a dosage appropriate to the age and weight of the child. The drug will not only reduce the rash, but also relieve the itching, ease the child's condition. In order to get rid of the irritation on the buttocks of the baby, it is necessary to change the diaper as often as possible to avoid prolonged contact with urine. Before changing it, be sure to rinse the buttocks, crotch and genitals with boiled water
Very useful air baths: try to leave the baby more often without a diaper. Remove the inflammation will help the bath with broths of herbs (calendula, chamomile, string) or a weak solution of potassium permanganate (manganese).
In the future, parents should pay attention to situations where the child complains that the priest is ill or behaving restlessly. Examine the buttocks of the baby - it may have irritated him. In situations where the child is scratching the ass, parasites are not always to blame. This may be a food allergy. In any case, you should contact the pediatrician.
