What Does Red And Tender Vagina In An Infant Suggest?
hi, my baby was sick through the night, she has been very sleepy today, she s off her food. Just tried to bath her which she normally loves, but she screamed the whole time. When dressing her I noticed her vagina looked very red and tender, she is 1o months old. What should I do?

Hello,
Most of the cases this red and tender vagina in babies is due to a urinary infection or a mycotic infection most common due to pamper.
So first I would suggest to take a urinary analysis. Of course she cries because it burns and hurts. you can also use a cream for babies with zinc which may help the girls.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
