DD (7years old) has what looks like a scratch on her labia minora (inside the lips of her vagina). She often complains of being 'wet', and will go and wipe herself pretty vigorously. I can only assume that she's likely scratched herself when doing that, and now it's quite painful for her. (Yes, we have had discussions about how she wipes herself, and needing to be gentle, etc...).

Is there anything I might be able to do for her to help her heal, or to ease the pain a bit, especially when she wee's!? I thought of maybe putting some paw paw ointment or maybe coconut oil on it? I have antiseptic cream too, but thought that would likely hurt, a lot! I have canisten cream for thrush, but I'm pretty sure it's not thrush, the rest of her bits looked normal.

Could it be anything else? Do you think we should see a doctor?
