What Can I Do To Ease My Child?
My granddaughter started putting her legs in a frog position and rubs her vulva on the floor often, esp When upset . When I tell her that is private and take her to her room she gets very upset. She started doing this around 1 and is 2 now. What should we do?

Hi there. Thank you for contacting us. She may be trying to scratch it because it is itchy. This is most likely caused by a yeast infection. Take a look and see if there is any white substance around the area. Also look in her mouth for the white substance that will wipe off with your finger or a toothbrush. You probably will most likely see it on her tongue or the inside of her teeth. Take her to the pediatrician and get a prescription for the yeast infection.
