Sore bits in potty trained DD

[Pennies]

DD (3.1) has been potty trained for a while but still wears a nappy at night.

Recently she has been complaining of sore bits a lot and they do look quite red. This has mostly been at the end of the day (i.e. when she hasn't been wearing a nappy) but can also be in the morning, but this is less frequent.

She takes herself to the loo most often and usually wipes herself but can be a bit hit and miss with the old wiping. Would wee left on her skin for a few hours do this to her?

I've been treating it with an anti-fungal (Nystan) which seems to do the trick but it keeps coming back.

Does anyone know what this could be and, short of taking her to see the GP, is there anything else I can do to get rid of it?

possibly be thrush?..

With my little girl she says she gets "hot wee" which i think stings her when she's had too much fruit juice (OJ, Apple juice and squash) and not enough water, then she gets red bits. I wipe her 90% of the time so don't think it's just from not wiping good enough.

Biglips, I thought that and I presumed that the anti-fungal cream would sort that out, but it hasn't done the trick. What other thrush remedies are out there?

Flutterbye, she doesn't say that it hurts when she wees (we say "spikey wee" in those instances!) so I'm not sure. Interesting point about fruit juice - will monitor that, but she doesn't have much of it at all, and it's not very often that she has it.

my dd had red sore bits and it was cos she had an water infection. She was given meds to clear it up. i remembered at that phase that she wasnt drinking enough but i make sure now she does drink enough. Also she had thrush at the same time as my newborn had thrush a few weeks ago. All now cleared.

Also ive bought non-fragrance toilet wipes to wipe her bum and her private parts too, as she doesnt seem to wipe it properly with normal toilet tissue.

plus my dd only say it hurts her when shes in bed (when she is hot) but never had said she go a hot wee.

OP, my DD would get sore down below simply from not wiping carefully enough, the GP said, and it was a form of eczema caused by one of the chemicals in the wee

very very common apparently

she got better at wiping herself and grew out of it!

dd gets red every so often and I just put a bit of sudocrem on it and it clears up. She did have thrush at one point but she was itchy and had a discharge and wasnt just red. Canesten eventually cleared that up.
