Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Child Having Redness Around Vagina, Anus. Itchy Bumps All Over Body. Prescribed Medicines. Suspecting StrepB Infection. Opinion?
My daughter is almost five and we have been dealing with redness/rawness around the vagina and anus area as well as small bumps all over her body. Both areas are itchy. Took her to the dermatologist and he took a culture of the vaginal/anal area and sent home oral antibiotics as well as a cream (1% oxiconaxole nitrate) to apply to vaginal/anal area. Also applying locaid cream to bumps on rest of body. He believes that she may have a strep B infection. Awaiting culture results. Thinks the bumps on the rest of the body are secondary immune response and will go away when we correct the other issue. She started the med s on Thursday and she is not getting any better. In fact she is more raw (almost looks like ground hamburger). Bumps still present and itchy. Just would like a second opinion and think something else may need to be done before the culture results are in.
may be due to worm infestation. give a dose of albendazole if not given within this six months. finally local hygiene is more important. use cotton innerwares. continue the antibiotic course as suggested by the doctor.
