Hi, I was just changing my 6 month old baby girls nappy, and when was cleaning separated her labia to ensure no faeces was there, however noticed her entrance of vagina bright red and inflammed. Should we go to hospital for this? She has been off lately
Brief answer :Probably a bacterial or candida infection. Detailed answer :Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. In a 6-month baby, redness and inflammation could be due to bacterial infection or candida infection. You need to do urine routine microscopy and culture test of baby, and you should apply locally mupirocin cream. I hope this will help you. Take care. Regards - Chat Doctor.
