NC for this.

DD is 4 and is frequently getting red and sore vulva. We saw GP a while ago who prescribed timodine cream and said to use it whenever it flares up. The tube is now empty and having read a bit about it, I'm not sure steroid creams are a great idea long term.

Anyone have any tips for keeping her clean and not sore?

She refuses to let me clean her in the bath. We have tantrums every time and I'm worried it's building up an anxiety around the area. She washes herself gently with a flannel. Nothing in the bath except a bit of child's farm shampoo on her hair. I encourage her to wipe front to back etc when using toilet. She wears a nightie to sleep so nothing tight.

How can I get her to let me clean her regularly? Any advice?

Hi all. Just dropping by to say this type of thread often draws reports. We've had a look behind the scenes and we don't have concerns about the OP.
