Brief Answer:
This is a normal change.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
At the age of 11 it is normal to have such changes in the body. These are normal pubertal growth changes.
Excessive emotionalism, depressive feelings, shyness, feeling awkward, etc are the expected responses of your daughter.
To decrease the pain and irritation due to growing hairs, she can do a close clipping of the hairs instead of shaving or epilation.
She should be told regarding proper hygiene and use an anti itch vaginal wash like Intiwash or Vagisil wash. Avoid using soap as it can cause dryness.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
