Suggest treatment for itching in genital area in a child
Patient: My daughter is 6 and her private area has been really itchy for a very long time. I ve taken her to the doctor, who said that she was masturbating. She is not doing that she is full on scratching. I ve checked for pin worms. I did not see anything. I feel so bad for her can you please help. Thanks erica Doctor: Hi,History of having local itching since long might be due to,1, yeast infection,2, having worm infestation,3, having poor local hygiene.Go for stool test for ova and cyst.apply antifungal cream.Keep her local hygiene clean, dry and airy.Do not allow her to play in clay play ground.Ok and take care.
