Such complaint may be caused due to worm infestation (perianal itch), bacterial or fungal infections, allergies etc.
Careful local examination my show fungal ring, infected wound, rash, urticaria, worms etc. And depending upon finding she may need deworming medications, antifungal, antibacterial or anti-allergic medications.
