Patient's question:
When the baby was over a year old, I noticed that the small labia minora were adhering to the red part of the labia majora. So, I applied erythromycin ointment on a cotton swab and gently separated them, making a few strokes. I did this for 5 days, three times a day. Later, when I showed it to a friend, I learned that the child was too young and the small labia minora were not prominent, so it wasn't (adhesion). At that time, the child's skin wasn't broken, and there would be no long-term effects on the child. Now, after a year, the child hasn't shown any symptoms. (Female, 2 years old)Doctor's answer:
At that time, when you made an incision for the child, it didn't break the skin. It will never cause harm to the child, so please don't be anxious. In the future, you won't dare to make decisions about any treatment for the child on your own. Little baby girl. Do not wear open-leg pants. The inner pants are open-leg, which is fine, but the outer pants must be sealed-leg. Teach the child to take them off and put them on by themselves. Wash the external genital area with running water every night (you can use a beverage bottle filled with lukewarm water. The water temperature should not be too high). I hope this helps you, and I wish you happiness and joy. I wish the baby a joyful transformation.
