How to take care of contaminated intimate spaces?
At the child vgrudnom the age within days an emiction happens 17-20 times, a defecation 2-3 times. Therefore, the child needs to be re-polled 5-7 times, and children with sensitive skin more often. The skin of a child, especially at this age, is tender and vulnerable, and in case of untimely or insufficient care, skin lesions appear quickly-more often in the form of sweating, irritation, redness or a foulness with infection, a pustular rash appears.
In the front, when the diapers are changed, at the beginning, the cleanest end of the diaper or the cloth cloths wipe the most polluted places. Then the genitals and buttocks in the position of the child on the back are washed with warm water. Applying baby soap (soft) during the toilet is recommended with great care and only when necessary, especially with highly sensitive skin. After washing of the vulva, inguinal and bend folds should be dried by lightly soaking with a cloth napkin. If the folds and skin folds are not thoroughly dried, it may cause diaper rash, maceration, and the consumable powder will roll into the lumps.
It is necessary to look at the genital cleft. In the vestibule of the vagina, the residues of contamination, powder, etc. can be retained. They should be removed with a damp cloth, and only in the direction from the front to the back. Zones of skin irritations are smeared with the appropriate baby cream. With highly sensitive skin, it is better to use pasteurized olive oil with the addition of vitamin A.
Method of preparation and use of oil for intimate hygiene
1 tablespoon of olive oil poured into glassware and pasteurized on a waterbath for 15 minutes. Then 20 drops of oily solution of Vitamin A are added to the warm oil.
Oil should be applied to the skin in a thin layer, the remains of oil are recommended to remove the napkin. At an intertrigo of a zone of dermal lesions it is more effective to grease with any children's cream. In the recent past, after the end of the toilet, the skin of the vulva, the skin scabs were powdered with talcum powder. The powder was sprayed with a thin layer of gauze tampon. Pudranecredko fell on the threshold of the vagina, rolled into lumps and caused the irritation of the mucous vestibule of the vagina. Therefore, now use oils (olive, peach).
Whether to wake a child to change diapers?
The question of whether to wake a child to change diapers, if it sleeps well, but is wet, is solved individually. In any case, a wet diaper to change is mandatory. Try to do it carefully, so as not to disturb the sleepers.
The phenomenon of smegma
Phenomenmegma to this day is little consecrated in the medical literature. Smegma is the secret of the sebaceous vulva, which performs a barrier function. When examining the vestibule of the vagina, the dandies of the first 6 months of life are found in the grooves between the small and large labia. At the initial stage of the separation, the smegma has the appearance of a non-dispersed, whitish-colored mass. If the smegma is not disposed of, it is not completely removed, then its accumulations can acquire a yellowish-gray color to be found in the lumps. At the same time, like any natural fat, it undergoes oxidation processes, causing irritation of the underlying tissue with manifestation of hyperemia (redness) and unpleasant odor. In some cases, this processor is interpreted by doctors as candida (fungal) vulvovaginitis. The accumulated smegma should be removed with a small gauze pad moistened with paraffin or vegetable oil. It is absolutely not recommended in similar cases to carry out a toilet of a vulva with the use of soap.
Using diapers
In connection with the growing frequency of cutaneous lesions in infants and young children, who were taken on diapers, which today are widely included in the everyday life of the child, we consider it necessary to consider this problem.
Pampers do not have absolute hygroscopicity, since they are provided with an outer film on the outside. In this regard, they can be considered as a kind of thermostat. Clinical observations show that the use of diapers is especially important for the first 4-6 months of life should be individualized, taking into account the inherent characteristics of the skin. In addition, in infancy, the child's skin responds to thermal irritation with reactive redness (erythema) with a spasmic rash. In a number of cases, the elements of the rash are papular-urticaric (nodular-blistering) with a tendency to form vesicles (vesicles) and pustules (pustules). The cutaneous lesions are localized on the skin of the anterior wall of the abdomen, vulva, anogenital area, buttocks, in the skin folds. In general, this form of skin damage, according to dermatological canons, can be characterized to a certain extent as a combination of skin catarrh with a limited form of toxic erythema. Elements of the rash disappear after 3-5 days, but can persist up to 2 weeks. Erythema skin in a number of observations is saved up to 1 month. The general condition of the child is disrupted with vesiculopustularis, there is a rise in temperature, the appearance of lethargy, anxiety. Eosinophilia appears in the blood.
Treatment of rashes
In such cases, you need to exclude the use of diapers. Vesicular and papular elements are smeared 2 times a day with 15% aqueous solution of fuchsin, brilliant green or pioktanin followed by powdering: talc and zinc oxide 10 g, dermatol 5 g. With a pronounced pustular rash, 40% ointment is shown. Dessitin or paste according to the prescription of FA . The animal. For the same purpose, you can use any of the produced therapeutic vegetable oils and aerosols.
Pasta nakozhu child is applied a thin layer, the excess paste is removed with a paper napkin.
