Suggest Treatment For Genital Itchy Sores In Children
My grandkids and I have had genital itchy and sore for about a month now, we have changed our laundry soap and toilet paper, as well as bath soap. My daughter has been hunting for the same time, could there possibly be something in the washer that is causing this?

May be you all got infected with scabies.treatment involves you all have to apply benzyl benzoate or permethrin cream all over the body except face on the night and taking warm water bath with thorough scrubbing next day morning and washing all the laundry in warm water and should be dried fully.if required this has to be repeated 2-3 times till full improvement is seen.It is better you consult a qualified physician or dermatologist who can confirm this on physical examination and can prescribe the lotion and moisturiser also if required.You have to maitain personal and sorroundings hygiene so that this will not reoccur.
