Could it be threadworms? is it worse at night?

I thought it was a spelling error for foot. But obviously not.
Have they done a urine test to rule out UTI?
Is it sore and scratchy? Could be washing powder/ soap/ bath stuff.
What are her poo's like? Keep a diary of her bowel habits for a while.
You can get Lactose from chemists or prescribed Movicol.

But try more veg/fruit/ dried fruit like apricots and dates at first. Swop white bread for whole meal.

I saw the title and immediately thought threadworms - they had the same effect on my dd. A dose of ovex later, no more vulvitis.
