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

[Guest guest]

I have no experience with this except to think that it might be a yeast infection. Has she taken antibiotics lately? That most definitely will cause them.

Just a thought...

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.

Yeast infection maybe? Has she been eating a lot of sugary type things, carbs, ---antibiotics? or she may have an allergy to some type of soap you are using- bubble bath, soap, laundry detergent.... a trip to the doctor should pinpoint what type of infection she has- they'll most likely "swab" it for a culture, and put sample under a microscope to determine what type.

Kim,

My youngest Molly (undiagnosed, but sx of hypoglycemia and

dyaustonomia) has always had a strange odor. Even two hours after

the bath. I have never figured out what is was. She continually gets

red. Occasionally she will get little bumps there too. I bought

lotriman cr and apply it then a coat of desitan over it. She heals

up in no time. She does get some discharge to. Her urine has always

had a smell (just alittle weird to it). She has generalized amino

aciduria. Someday we'll figure it out. Hope this helps!
