1. Wash your baby's diaper area thoroughly when changing diapers. After washing, remember to dry the baby's skin, do not rub it back and forth.
2. Use a barrier ointment to protect your baby's skin. There are several very good creams on the market, such as petrolatum and zinc oxide powder. Zinc oxide powder is more viscous and very effective for protecting sensitive skin.
3. Select a little bigger diaper for your baby to make the air more circulated.
4. When the weather is warm, try to let the baby play outdoors or on the clean floor indoors. Do not dress your baby in diapers (and do not wipe the cream), the longer the better, because direct contact with the air will speed up the recovery of diaper rash.
5. When the baby's diaper rash has not subsided after several days of at-home treatment, there are blisters, pustule, oozing yellow liquid, or ulceration, you need to take your baby to dermatology clinic.
