What Causes Burning And Itching During Bowel Movements?

My 8 year old daughter has had Nether regional trouble for years now. she often has bladder infections and the skin around her vagine and rectum flares up so bad that she cries. It is bright red and raw and bleeds. we have tried so many different ointments and our doctor isn t able to pinpoint a problem. She says it stings and burns and itches and she hols in any bowel moevments because of the pain. any suggestions please?

Dear parent, I understand your concerns but usually inflammation of the genital area that is resistant to treatement is caused by a fungal infection. she should take antifungal tablets together with a combined antifungal and a zinc oxide cream . the cream should be applied after cleaning the area with soap and water the drying it throughtfully. the fungal infection could be avoided by wearing cotton underwears , drying very well after going to the toilet and keeping good hygiene of this area
