What should I do if my baby's lower body is red and itchy?

In the minds of many women, most people think that only adult women will suffer from gynecological diseases. In fact, this is not the case. Little girls can also suffer from gynecological inflammation. Generally speaking, there are many reasons for little girls to suffer from gynecological inflammation. One of the more common symptoms is redness and itching in the baby's lower body. So what should I do if the baby's lower body is red and itchy? The following are the reasons why your baby’s lower body becomes red and itchy.

What should I do if my baby's lower body is red and itchy?

1. Pinworm disease. If the mother wants to judge, she can look carefully to see if there are any insects crawling out at night.

2. Urethritis, which is probably related to poor personal hygiene habits. Parents may not pay attention when wiping their children's feces, allowing the feces to contaminate the urethra and cause bacterial infection. If you suspect this is the case, it is best to do a urine test.

3. The clothes are of poor quality, not made of pure cotton, or are too hard, rubbing against the genitals and causing itching. Although some clothes may say they are made of 100% cotton, they may feel rough and have a pungent smell. Mothers should make rational choices. Some mothers like to pick up other children's old clothes, but it should be noted that some clothes have aged fibers and become stiff fabrics after being washed many times, so such clothes should be worn with caution.

4. Vaginorectal fistula. This is a relatively rare congenital malformation that can cause repeated urinary tract infections and vaginitis, causing discomfort in the child's genitals.

5. Other diseases: such as skin allergies, various infectious vaginitis, trauma, etc.

Since 3-year-old children are too young to accurately describe their symptoms, it is best for parents to take their children to a regular hospital to see a specialist. In this case, it is not appropriate to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor or a dermatologist. You should first go to a pediatrician and then consider referral to other related departments based on the pediatrician's opinion. Parents should check at home whether their children have itching during the day and whether the urethral opening is red. The diet can be adjusted appropriately and lighter meals can be given. You can also take a sitz bath with potassium permanganate (PP powder) to see if there is any improvement.

Baby vulva redness and swelling baby girl care knowledge

First of all, we can make a judgment for younger children and check whether the diapers used for the children have not been changed in time, which leads to reproductive system infection when the children urinate. If it is due to such a problem, it is best to wipe the baby with clean water every day, or use some light salt water, and try not to use medicine casually.

When parents find that their baby girl's vulva is red and swollen, they will apply some of the medicines they usually use to clean gynecological inflammation to the child. However, children are different from ordinary people. Children's bodies are not like adults. These diseases are not gynecological inflammations. They should go to the hospital to consult a professional doctor and choose Chinese patent medicine or topical medicine under the doctor's advice and guidance.

Another thing you should pay attention to is the underwear your baby wears. Many parents don't pay much attention to the cleaning of their children's underwear, thinking that children are young and will not have gynecological diseases at all. In fact, the vagina of a baby girl is also very sensitive, and her body is relatively tender, and her skin has not fully grown, so you must pay attention at this time to disinfect and clean your baby's underwear in time.

When children have problems in various aspects, parents do not need to worry too much. It is best to take the children to the hospital for examination and treatment first. Do not apply ointments to children casually, or use methods that you think are effective for treatment. In fact, these are useless and will make the redness and swelling more serious.
