Suggest Treatment For Rash In Pubic Area

my five yr old daughter has a rash in her pubic area. It started with a pimple and has spread over the whole outer area. Took to pediatrician and he recommended neosporin and A&D ointment. It hasn't helped, only worsened and she'es complaining that it is VERY itchy. Today we 1% hydrocortisone, I don't know what else to do.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,
Welcome to Hcm,
Its too difficult to suggest without having a lot at the rash. The possibilities are a severe diaper rash if she is using one which is not commonly done in this age and other more likely possubikty Is a fungal infection. I would suggest you use plain clotrimazole cream TDs and you can see the response in 2 days time. Steroid is not recommended now. However the best would be to consult a dermatologist and then consider trying this therapy because I'm just assuming the possibilities not confirming it which can be done by only seeing the lesion. Take care.
