"My 8-year-old daughter has a lot of pain in her vulva, it burns (seems to be on the inner labia and clitoris). Should I use hydrocortisone and/or Canesten?"

It is not recommended to apply hydrocortisone or Canesten™ on the vulva of a child experiencing burning sensation, as it could disrupt the vaginal flora and lead to other issues. The best course of action is to rinse the area with cold water and wait.
