My son was by his dad's for the last two days. Before he went by his dad's his cord stump wasn't coming off at all and his skin was smooth. When I got him today his cord starting coming off and his skin is peeling around it. Is there a reason? Should I be worried?
@meganeileen6, I haven't used anything with alcohol. Should I still put neosporin?
Ok thank you ladies @caseymae1031 @princessmommy @kmally ! I feel a lot better.😌☺️
my pediatrician had me put neosporin on after the alcohol. itll be off & healed before ya know it!:)
Looks normal! (: just use lotion! I wouldn't use an alcohol pad, that would burn.. & it does dry their skin out..
Looks completely normal. My youngest son David's did the same thing. Have you been taking a alcohol pad around it? The ob told me to every time I changed his diaper it helps it come off. And that's what looks like happened is he might have used a alcohol pad and it does dry the skin on their belly. And that's perfectly normal.
The alcohol is used to dry it up is all. Which he will probably cry. It's not hurting him it would be because he don't like it. David's wouldn't dry up that well so I had to use a cotton swap to get down in it a bit to dry it. Which he didn't like it but it didn't hurt him.
