This was last year, yday DD showed me two. I'm not able to tell if its weather related or triggered by something else. Will start making a log to keep track. Is this ok, should I take her to a gynecologist? The panties are not tight, roomy, cotton ones. Loose fitting pajamas to bed most of the times. She likes to wear those flannel pj's, which in my opinion is not a good fabric for bed - but I don't think the fabric can cause these? thoughts? Thanks!

\Don't put baby powder on your panty line. It's associated with ovarian cancer.

Go away.

While this post may seem ludicrous so is a parent asking DCUM for medical advice about their tween daughters' pubic rash. GO SEE A DOCTOR, WE HAVE OBAMACARE NOW. Why would listen to anyone here concerning the health of your children?

Wash with a gentle vaginal wash. Wear nothing that irritates the area. Hydradenitis supperative is very rare and usually on scalp. It's also common to get ingrown pubic hairs in that area which results in bumps.

It isn't "usually" on scalp.

I would guess ingrown hairs. I used to get them from my leotards rubbing (gymnastics, so no tights).

No baby powder or talcum powder! It's been linked to ovarian cancer and the baby powder our mothers used was laced with asbestos.

I've had this since I was an adolescent - it is exacerbated by tight clothes and is also hormonally triggered. I gave up wearing jeans for a long time in my 20s and 30s. I've had to have a few surgically drained, but the best treatment I've found is soaking in a very hot bath with epsom salts. There are times when I do multiple baths a day. It can be very painful. It isn't fun, but has gotten a lot better for me with age.

I used to get cysts at my underwear line. Now after every shower I exfoliate by rubbing a dry towel on the area to get rid of excess skin. My problem has resolved. Also, I try to look out for clogged pores in that area and push the clog through if necessary. I do think that probiotics could be helpful as well, but I have never tried this. This is the thread on treating acne with probiotics.

Try having her use Eucerin lotion with Aha or another mild exfoliant.
