What Causes Vaginal Pain With Lumps And Itching?

My 4 yr old complained that her vagina hurt. When she showed it to me, it looked a little pink above her vagina and right between her lips, it looked as though the skin was coming off. I used a wipe up to see if it would come off, but it didn t I put balmex. 3 days later I look again after her bath and I noticed that she has red bumps around her vagina. She said its a little itchy. could this be from not wiping herself well after she uses the potty? Please help!!!

Hi,

by what you say I feel that it could be worm infestation and unrelated to the pink bump, please. You may use OTC Albendazole at 400mg one dose today and another after 10 days, please.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
