Patient's question:
A pimple has grown in the child's vaginal area, and the inner labia are red. What should be done? Daily cleaning is necessary to prevent redness and pain. It started a year ago, and in the past two or three days, small pimples have appeared on the inner side of the labia without pain or itching. After using the medication, the child reported pain in the inner labia. Can the medication still be used?Test results: The doctor did not perform any tests and said it was vaginitis.
Previous treatment and effectiveness: Two days ago, the child bought medicine at the hospital: [Honghe Fuyanjie Cleanser] (external use) and [Likang Cream] (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 it prone to moisture and bacterial infection, which can lead 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 quantity for application.
