Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Dear Anne, Coconut oil is very soothing and healing Anne. You may know this but it is important that little girls do not have bubble baths. They should wear 100% cotton underwear and as little polyester slacks as possible to all the area to breath. Sounds like she has candida too. Are you treating her as well?

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 i've been using pure unrefined coconut oil. it is a natural candida fighter. not quite as messy as yogurt! also in the shower, i have an all nautral liquid soap, infused with some tea tree oil (infused it myself). maybe try it on yourself first, to make sure you don't have too strong a batch, then use a little every day (or twice a day) to cleanse the area. your daughter might get great relief, as tea tree oil has a cooling effect on the skin. just not too strong a mix! > Hello Bee, Roy, and all others, > > What do you recommended for topical relief of vaginal itching for my > 5-year-old daughter?

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Dear Bee, Thanks for the info. Yes, I do know about bubble baths being verboten for little girls. It's especially true for my daughter as she has urinary tract reflux and was born with only one kidney (hence the daily antibiotics, hence the Candida; and yes, I am treating her already for it). We do use coconut oil as a skin oil; so it will be easy to use it for topical relief of her internal itching. Thanks for the tip! She also does wear 100% cotton underwear, and she never ever wears polyester!

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Dear Anne, You've got things well in hand with your daughter. Good for you. I hope the coconut oil helps her itching, etc. What urinary tract reflux? I've never heard of it before. We will al be praying for your little girl that she does well and comes out of this happy and healthy again. The best Anne, Bee > Dear Bee, > > Thanks for the info.
