4 Yr Old Keeps Getting Red Rash Around Vaginal Area, Terrible Pain. What Is Causing It ?
My child age 4 keeps getting a red rash around her vaginal area looks a bit like nappy rash. It seems to occur in the evenings after I have put her to bed she wakes up an hour later in terrible pain, crying and the rash has once again appeared. I usually give her a bath and apply sudocreme and this seems to ease the stinging (as she calls it). Any ideas on what could be causing it?

Hi
This is looking like rash because of irritant rash due to the irritation of urine because of prolonged contact. So keep dry that area. Some times fungal(candida) rash is common in that areas because of excessive sweating and wetness and antifungal cream application is required so consult your doctor for appropriate medication and advise
