What Causes Vaginal Itching In A Child?
Hi doc, My daughter now 7 years has had itch in her clitoris since she was two. I ve taken her to see different gp and after several tests on her , they conclude that she is reacting to the bath soap.i ve since changed her soap but I still wash her pants with soap. Most times she complain of this itch but there seem to be no rashes there. I really would like to know how to help her get over this allergy . Thanks.

Hi,
Apart from allergy to soap or other cleaning agent there might be having possibility of having worm infestation giving this problem.
If worms are there they migrate in front to vaginal part giving this itching.
So one course of anti-worm medicine like Albendazole will be much helpful.
Keep her local part clean and hygienic.
Ok and take care.
