Vaginal thrush 20 month old?

[Marley&Me]

My dd has a red rash all around her vulva area. It's kinda in an upside down 'U' shape IYKWIM. Doesn't look too red towards the inside and doesn't seem to be bothering her too much.
I am using Daktozin cream that I already had in the house. But it doesn't seem to be improving. I have booked a doctor appointment for tomorrow morning so just waiting till then. But is a thrush infection common at this age? What else could it be??

Has she had Hand, Foot & Mouth? That starts off with a red rash in the groin area. Lots of little red dots.

[Marley&Me]

Yes vic, she has had it before, last year. But no rash in the groin.....

[Marley&Me]

Turns out it is thrush. The Daktozin seems to be clearing it up.

[Marley&Me]

Well it appears the Daktozin isn't clearing it up The doctor and pharmacist recommended to keep using it. but it seems to be getting more red now. I am doing nappy changes every 2 hours and washing with water and having nappy free as often as I can. Might have to take her to the doctors AGAIN. This seems to be happening a lot with every doctor I go to. I always need a second opinion.

Id suggest giving her a baby probiotic to get things fixing from the inside as well making sure there is no fragrances in anything used on that area. Do you use cloth or disposable nappies?

If she's had antibiotics then there's a high chance her gut is imbalanced and probiotics and probiotic foods would help to rebalance it and prevent future thrush infections.

Thanks! No antibiotics, but it's finally gone now after 2 weeks of Daktozin cream
