What Causes Soreness Around The Clitoris?
Hi, my daughter is 5 years old and she keeps complaining about being sore around her clitoris. There is white stuff there and I clean this off and she is better then. I clean her every day but this keeps appearing. Also, I may be showing my naivety here, but she doesn t appear to have any lips over her clitoris. Is this normal at this age?

Hi...it is common for this age for clitoris to be appearing as out of the inner lips. The white substance might be slough which forms daily in certain kids. It can also be a fungal infection if its irritating her. I suggest you to use a over the counter antifungal cream and if it doesn't settle in a week, consult your pediatrician.
