Hello,

You are suggested to help your daughter take care of her hygiene. She should wipe properly after every bowel movement. Teach her clean the buttocks and anus with soap and water while bathing. Give her cotton underwear and let her change it everyday. You can apply Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% ointment in the affected area to kill the bacteria causing pimples. You can get a stool test (R/E and C/S) done to rule out pin worms / roundworms, etc.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
