if you have tried over the counter cortisonecream or diaper rash cream it is probabl a yeast infection that a ange of things from a wet swimsuit to not wiping well couldcause but defintely take her to the doctor or it will get worse but you could try some cornstarch if it is just red and inflammed to help the pain till you get to the doctor

Assuming she is washed with soap every time she pees or more than once a day... According to my friendly pediatrician, the vagina shouldn't be washed with soap too often. During the day, it should be enough to rinse with water then dab dry. Over washing causes dryness of the affected area which may result to itchiness "down there." But to be sure, you should really take her to her pediatrician to make sure that UTI (urinary tract infection) or any other conditions are causing it.

My daughter suffers from this too! Once I made sure her hygiene standards were appropriate I worked out it was caused by her vagina being dry. Now as soon as she starts to scratch I give her her special cream (bit of KY jelly). It's relieved before she scratches herself too much and irritates the skin. Good luck!

just cause her vagina is itchy doesn't mean she is being abused, she might have a yeast infection, wearing a wet bathing suit can cause them in young girls. take her to the doctor,

no baths for one thing, my daughter always had itching from sitting in water also pay ttention to how she wipes, front to back, make sure underwear is cotten and clean and changed maybe more than once a day,
i found triple antibiotic ointment worked the best, like neosporin, if these things dont wok take her to the doctor

Only give her mild soap to wash with.
*when I was 5 I started washing myself and I didn't rise good enough. therefore I got an itchy burney crotch. vasiline on her labia (inner lips) will sooth her irritation. from now on remind her to scrub and rise better*
If none of that helps it is time to see a doctor.

She is having a yeast or cleansing problem. Cut back on sugars and make sure she is wiping herself properly especially after going #2.

You should take your daughter to a doctor asap, this could be a vaginal infection. She Is not to young to get vaginal itching b/c my cousin who Is 8 years old gets vaginal itching and they get really bad that she can't wear tight clothes, or even under-ware that doesn't have a cotton lining In the crotch area. ((GoOd LuCk)) and I wish the best for your daughter please take her to a doctor, b/c know one on this site Is a doctor and you need proper medical attention for your daughter.

It's probably just a yeast infection. If it continues, take her to the doctor. It's not uncommon.
