RE: Do any of your little girls w/ mito have

[Guest guest]

I don’t have any advice except that

it sounds like a possible yeast infection which is common in girls at this age

from hygiene habits or taking antibiotics. Samya always had redness in that

area on and off. I used to have her soak in clean water before her bath (no

soap_ before her bath and would apply lotrimin cream (antifungal) after each

bathroom use and before bed for several day until it cleared up. I do not know

if it is mito

related. I think mito

children in general have sensitive skin and get irritation more because of

their disorder. Samya had massive rashes as a baby to the point where they

would bleed and massive redness and discomfort as she got older in her vagina

area. It used to break my heart because it was so often I used to carry

Lotrimin in my purse. Leanna does not have that specific problem but she has

keratosis on her skin since birth and I believe that is mito related also.

Good luck,

Do any of your little girls w/ mito

have

a problem with being red in her vagina area? Madison has been red

there for the past month and we have been using

the cream the dr

gave. Well tonight while putting the cream

on there seems to be a

white discharge w/ a smell. She is 5 and has

never had a problem w/

this until recently. I was wondering if

there could be something in

her urine mito

related and she is not wiping enough and that is

causing the redness. It probaly has nothing

to do w/ mito

but I just

thought I would ask. I know I can come here

to the pros. I almost

feel I get more answers from all of you than the

docs! I will call

the dr tomorrow and see what they say. Take

care~Kim

Please

contact mito-owner with any problems or questions.

Thanks for all your replies. I am sure it is just a yeast infection.
