Suggest Treatment For Vaginal Rash In A Child

My 2 yr old un potty trained daughter has a really red painful rash on her vagina. It looks painfull and when cold touches it she says it feels better. When she pees she actually tells me she went because she wants to be changed (very unlike her). I have given her a bath today and been putting powder on it and she is walking funny because it hurts so bad. When she was 6 months old she had a UTI but has never had one since. Should I take her to the hospital or just wait to take her to see her doctor tomorrow?

Pediatrician 's  Response
hi, welcome to this forum. Rash at vaginal area that you have described looks like bacterial infection of skin. You should apply mupirocin cream 2 times a day for 3 days. If no improvement in 48 hours then get child element by a skin specialist doctor. Take care.
