Question
A four-year-old girl is experiencing pain and itching in her vulva. After visiting a doctor and taking medication, the symptoms have not improved. Seeking appropriate assistance.
Answer
This condition could be pediatric vulvitis. It is recommended to use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths, or apply nystatin or clotrimazole ointment. Oral metronidazole tablets can also be taken to alleviate symptoms. Since the child is still young and has a weaker immune system, the situation is expected to improve with age, so there is no need to worry excessively.
