Suggest Treatment For A Vaginal Skin Tag In A Child
my daughter is 21 months old. No problems throughout pregnancy, and born term, vaginally. She was born with a small skin tag slightly inside the vagina. Recently i had noticed it becoming larger in size. It doesnt seem to bother her a whole lot. I had asked her doctor about it a few months ago and he said he doesnt think i have anything to worry about. Now to me it seems like her vaginal hole is slightly bigger than it should be and im not real sure if its from the skin tag growing and stretching. Right now we currently dont have health insurance until the beginning of july and i dont have a whole lot of money to take her back to the doctor.
Hi.... by what you say I feel that your kid might be having a condition called vaginal synechiae. This is a very very common condition and it can be most of the times relieved by using Premarin cream as external application on the skin tag. But it has to be done under a specific technique and it needs to be taught by a pediatrician or physician. If the Premarin cream is not working then only we need to release the synechiae surgically. This is also is a day care procedure and is not major procedure. So you need not worry about it. I suggest you consult your pediatrician regarding this with the tip I have given.
