What Causes Redness And Pain In Clitoris After Swimming?
My 2yr old daughter was complaining earlier of pain in her nether region. I looked and she had redness around her clitoris. I put sudocream on it for now and she s now sleeping. We did go swimming yesterday, could it be chlorine? We have been swimming lots though with no effect. She could have drunk more water today. Any ideas?

Hi...it seems she might have gotten a fungal infection after the water exposure at the pool. I suggest you to apply an antifungal cream there for a week, if it's available over the counter. If it's not settling in a week, kindly consult your pediatrician.
