A member asked:

I have been noticing a discharge on my 9 year old daughter's underwear and couple of times i have noticed her scratching her self. what could be the cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibilities: Many girls can develop a discharge from simple cross contamination. The anus is so close that fecal germs can find there way in. Wiping wrong can assist that. If she sits in a soapy tub without rinsing well the water can leave a soap film on her genitals and trigger scratching. A warm tub soak & rinsing the area well with clean water can help.If it persists her doc may need to evaluate this.
