What to do if the little girl's vulva is red and itchy

A little girl's body is in the development stage before she reaches adulthood, and all aspects of her body functions are not yet perfect, so every change needs to be taken seriously. Some girls reported that they sometimes felt their vulva became red and itchy, so they kept scratching it with their hands. But it is easy to scratch the vulva, and in severe cases it may cause infection. So, what should a little girl do if her vulva becomes red and itchy?

If a girl experiences vulvar itching, the first thing she should do is to do a good job of preventive health care. At this time, she must not scratch it with her hands, avoid excessive friction of the vulva, and do not wash it with hot water. In addition, she must find the cause of the itching based on her own situation, keep the vulva dry and clean, do not eat irritating foods, do not smoke or drink, etc., and then she can take some medication for treatment.

1. What medicine should girls use for vulvar itching?

Due to the natural physiological characteristics of girls, their urethra is relatively short and they are generally more susceptible to infection by certain germs. In addition, girls may have poorer immunity when they are young, so many little girls may experience symptoms such as vulvar itching, redness and swelling. So, what medicine is generally better for little girls' vulvar itching?

2. You can use lotion

In fact, the symptoms girls experience are relatively mild, and they don’t need to take medicine or get injections like adults. They can just use some external washes. Every night before going to bed, use a special basin and towel to pour boiling water, let it cool slightly, just warm water will do, do not add tap water to cool it, then add some detergent, and wash the child. Be sure to change the underwear after washing. Children's underwear must be dried in the sun, and towels must also be washed and dried.

3. Apply topical ointment

If a girl's symptoms are a little more serious, such as some redness and swelling, she can use some topical ointments at this time. Any common ointment will do, such as fluocinolone ointment. Generally, you should clean it first, and then apply some ointment to the child. Don’t apply too much, otherwise it will get on the clothes and it will be uncomfortable. Just apply it once a day, and the symptoms will be completely relieved after a few days.

4. Pay attention to hygiene

Girls must pay attention to hygiene protection, mainly starting with daily cleaning. Little girls must wash their lower part every day using a special basin and towel. Their underwear must be changed and washed and exposed to the sun every day. It is best not to wear tight pants often as they will not be breathable. Generally, when children go to the public toilet outside, adults must remind them to pay attention to hygiene and wash their hands after going to the toilet.
