My baby gets a lot of rashes on his hips

Question

Accepted Answer

If your 9-month-old baby is developing rashes on their hips, it could be due to various reasons such as diaper rash, skin sensitivity, or friction from tight clothing or diapers. To help soothe the rashes, ensure you're changing diapers frequently to keep the area dry, as prolonged exposure to moisture can irritate the skin. Use a gentle, fragrance-free diaper rash cream or ointment to protect and heal the skin. Avoid using harsh soaps or wipes with alcohol, and consider giving your baby some diaper-free time each day to let the skin breathe. If the rash persists, worsens, or is accompanied by fever or blisters, it’s best to consult your pediatrician to rule out any underlying conditions, such as an allergy or infection.
