What Causes Pain In The Clitoris Of A Child?
My daughter is 3 years old and she was complaining that her clitoris was hurting so I took a look and it seems to be closing up. When she was an infant they told me to put medicine on it and I can t remember what it was called to help spread it. Do you know what it was called and if it s over the counter.

Hello, thank you for posting your query on health care magic. It seems like your daughter is having synechiae, which is when the clitoris fuses around the opening to pee, and can cause urinary infection. The treatment is hydrocortisone cream which you apply once a day in the part where it is fused to the side and around the opening to pee (ask a nurse to show you), once a day for 6 weeks. It is available over the counter.
Hope this answers your query.
