Child Rubbing Her Vaginal Area Constantly, Red And Sore. Any Quick Remedy ?

Hi my 2 yr old daughter has been rubbing her vaginal area against anything she can for some time now we've had worm treatment and cream to try and help the red sore looking skin we only bath her in water and have been putting a substance the gp gave us which turns the water white and cloudy but nothing seems to be helping!

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

It is very normal for children to explore their private parts and the child might be just doing that. However if the area is red then she needs to be examined thoroughly and investigated to rule out any local fungal infection or any urinary infection.

As you have not specified the name of the substance the GP has given it is difficult to say if that is the cause of irritation. You need to just wash her with plain and fresh water.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your daughter an early recovery.

Regards,
