My daughter continues to touch her virgina... i mean like all the time. She says she has wedgie. I've tried changing her knickers to girl boxers but hasn't changed anything. I've had her at the doctors and she doesn't have thrush, no UTI. I'm at a loss. Help! Any tips to stop it. She is causing it to be very red and sore.

Keep both her hands very busy! Also if she wearing dresses/skirts it’s easier to touch. So pants/overalls so she can’t get her hands in there as easy.
Gentle encouraging not to touch it throughout the day. And maybe encourage her to touch it as much as needed it in the shower where her hands are at east clean and then you're not discouraging it all together and possibly having a space where its acceptable might help but having boundries when its not okay.
When my daughter used to do this the child nurse said that kids do it for comfort. So when they are sleepy or relaxing. It is perfectly normal, i would just have a chat about not doing it in public x
