My prepubescent daughter has had genital irritation for 6 months. She has undergone a myriad of treatments from several doctors without resolution. Some days she can barely stand to sit or wear underwear. There are no visible signs except red vaginal mucosa (hymen is intact), and the redness continues in a straight line up the crack of her hiney at times. No visible vaginal discharge or odor. The only things that help are baths or showers twice daily with no soap and topical steroids which I use sparingly. She has been treated with mebendazole (pinworm) twice with no effect, so that was ruled out. Two cultures showed normal bacteria inhabitance. We applied prescription antifungal creams (Protonix, Vusion, nystatin) to no avail. She has had two doses of oral antifungal (fluconazole) with no difference. We use All Free/Clear detergent, cotton white underwear, and white toilet tissue. She is fully potty trained. What differential diagnosis am I missing? Thank you in advance!
