Toddler has a red vagina?

Red Vagina: The most common reason for redness in the vaginal area is simple skin irritation. This can come with or without pain. The solution is the application of a thin layer of vaseline 2-3 times per day. This will prevent the skin from rubbing together and causing more irritation. If, however, she complains of pain during urination, a urine sample must be obtained to rule out a urinary tract infection.

Vulvitis is common: in prepubertal girls who are either not toilet trained or who wipe back to front, getting germs from around the anus into the vulva. Other causes of irritation are bubble baths, soapy water, tight silk panties or bathing suits &, yes, masturbation. Till her doctor visit, put a cup of vinegar in 6" of warm water for her bath, use cotton undies, single-use wet-wipes, front-to-back & trim her nails.
