What Causes Red Boil On Clitoris Of A Child?

My daughter is 6.5 years old, 38 pounds 42 inches.. she has a small boil like red coloured growth in the skin on the top part of the vagina .. i think its called the cliterus, but I am not sure.. it is painful at times partifularly when comes in contact with a pillow or a cushion. She is also having discomfort at school sitting crosslegged and has an itching or tickling sensation down there post urination. Should this be looked at by a urologist or a pediatrician or would it become all right on its own. Kindlhy help.

Hi,
From history it seems that she might be having some local infection or urinary tract infection giving rise this boil and irritation.
Due to poor local hygiene might caused this problem.
Consult pediatrician and get examined.
She might require one course of antibiotic medicine.
Apply antibiotic cream after proper cleaning.
Make a habit of cleaning local part with plane water while giving shower.
Ok and take care.
