What Could Be The Reason For Cuts On Either Side Of Clitoris In A 5yr Old Child?
my 5 year old daughter has been complaining about her privates, and upon inspection, it looks like she has cuts either side of her clitoris. they appear to come and go, but not completely. naturally it itches and stings when we try to clean it. i am not aware of her having any bad hygiene, etc ...
we took her to the doctor, even she did not know what it is. can you help identify and suggest a remedy
