POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. Itching in a 5-year-old's private parts can occur due to various reasons, including poor hygiene, fungal or bacterial infections, pinworm infestation, or skin irritation caused by tight clothing or harsh soaps. It may also be due to dryness, allergies, or dermatitis. Ensure your child practices good hygiene by washing the area gently with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free cleanser, and drying it thoroughly. Avoid synthetic or tight-fitting underwear; opt for loose, breathable cotton fabrics instead. If the itching persists, worsens, or is accompanied by redness, swelling, or discharge, consult a pediatrician. They can determine the exact cause, such as a fungal infection or worms, and recommend appropriate treatment, like antifungal creams or deworming medications. Encourage your child not to scratch, as it can worsen irritation or lead to infections.
