A bit TMI about DD's sore bottom - but advice please....

My DD yesterday got a very sore bottom and vagina.

She is still in nappies and was very reluctant to let me clean her.

She has had a bath last night, then woke up in the early hours (very unlike her) crying saying she was sore. I changed her and she was clean. Gave her a bath this morning and she is very sore and inflamed there.

I tried the usual creams but nothing seems to work.

I am thinking of taking her to the doctors but am worried that it might be a waste of the doc's time and he will just tell me to use the creams i have already been trying.

What has worried me is that she says her back hurts.

WWYD?

Metanium is my "miracle" cream and it works a treat but yes you should definitely see the doctor.

Thanks hillbilly. She is booked in to see the GP this afternoon. I have to say i have never heard of Metanium cream - so will give it a go. Thanks for the tip !
