Patient's question:
A pimple has grown in the child's vaginal area. The inner labia is red. What should be done? Daily cleaning is required, otherwise it will become red and painful. It started a year ago, and in the past two or three days, small pimples have appeared on the inner and outer sides of the labia without pain or itching. After using the medication, the child said the inner labia became painful. Can the medication still be used?Test results: The doctor did not conduct any tests and said it was vaginitis.
Previous treatment and effectiveness: Two days ago, the child bought medicine at the hospital: [Honghe Fuyanjie Cleanser] and [Likang Cream] for external use.
Doctor's answer:
Children can potentially get vaginitis, and infantile vaginitis mainly occurs again in girls aged 2-9. Due to the immature ovarian function of infants and young children, the vaginal mucosa of young girls is relatively thin, and the vaginal external orifice is adjacent to the anus and urethra, making the area prone to moisture and bacterial infection, leading to inflammation such as vulvovaginitis. When the external genital skin is scratched or scratched and industrial pollution occurs, vulvitis is likely to occur. During treatment, attention should be paid to maintaining external genital hygiene, and foreign bodies in the vagina must be removed as soon as possible. Antibiotic ointment can be used in sufficient amount for application.
