Have you ever seen a bed sore on a baby near the base of the spine? We don t know if that s what it is, but on our 4-month-old girl we found some pimple-like lesion a little smaller than a dime. Green-yellow puss came out, then a little blood. We put a little fuciidin 2% on it. What else should we do?
Dear Parent, Bed sores are relatively uncommon in healthy newborns. However, they can occur if the infant is lying in a wet nappy for long periods and there is poor nutritional and fluid intake. For your children skin lesion, I would advise you to consult a pediatrician ASAP who can have a look at the skin and advise you about the diagnosis, tests and treatment appropriately.
