What Are The Large Red And Painful Bumps Around The Vagina Of A Child?

I have a 22 month old that keeps getting large red bumps off and on around the out side of her private area. It almost looks like an infected pimple. When I wipe her after taking her diaper off she shakes in pain and says it hurts. What do you think it could be?

A picture of that rash will help me in diagnosing the disease. It could be Nappy rash, Candida (Fungal) infection or bacterial infection. If the rash involves inguinal flexure, most likely it could be candida infection. Is your child's rash associated with fever?

How frequently do you change the nappies? If you keep it for longer periods, child might develop those nappy rashes. And you ought to keep the surface dry to avoid such infections.

A local application of Miconazole will help you out with candidal infections. and Emollients with nappy rashes. You can even try Happy Nap cream.

Thank you!
