Daughter with itchy bottom

[SpiritualKnot]

My 8 year old daughter is suffering for a second night with an itchy bum.It's not worms, she's had those before, though I have some tablets from before and could give her one of those anyway?

How can I help, I've washed her with water and tried Eurax cream, that worked last night, But tonight it didn't work and she's crying with it as she's so tired.

Any suggestions of how to help?

Isn't this great? I was as miserable as anything yesterday with my itchy bot, but no way would I ever have mentioned it to anyone on the school run. But here, we can all tell each other our intimate secrets with never a - well, not many anyway!

I have a hydrocortisone cream lying about. I will remember that for the future!

If the itches are 'front bottom' as well as anus, google 'lichen sclerosis' and just rule it out. It is often not diagnosed by doctors. Intense itching is a symptom; so are fissures.
