Is it normal for a little girl to have a slightly unpleasant smell when washing her buttocks?

Patient's question:

The little girl is about to turn three years old. Today, while washing her buttocks, I got close to smell it and noticed a faint odor. It requires getting very close to detect it. At a distance of 10 cm, the smell is no longer noticeable. It's only when very close that a slightly unpleasant odor can be detected. Is this normal? It doesn't smell like urine, but there is a faint odor without any discharge. After washing, it seems to have no smell anymore.

Doctor's answer:

Based on your symptoms, it is suspected that the situation you described may be in the child. In most cases, it does not cause significant interference. As long as the child maintains dry and clean external genitalia, prevents friction, drinks plenty of water, urinates frequently, and enhances the body's metabolism, it should be fine. The above is advice on this issue. It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
