Does Anyone Know What Could Be Causing My 3YO Daughter to Chafe?

underwear too loose? pants bunching up? thighs rubbing? a skin irritation such as a pimple that has caused further irritation? if not wearing a pull up or diaper then is she leaking a little urine that is staying right there in her panties or pants that is causing irritation? heat rash? has she been hiding activities that some children start to do when they discover their parts and how they feel?did you change soaps? laundry detergents?

Is she sweating?
Sometimes a little sweat will cause some chaffing.
Make sure she's not over heating.

Does she wear diapers or pull ups still? That's usually a cause of skin irritation in that area. I swear by Desitin (40% zinc oxide). It really helps with any kind of skin irritation. It's funny but my dd is older now but still get's eczema on her arms and back of knees as does my husband. We still use Desitin to help with that. Sometimes I make my own mixture of Desitin 40% zinc, vaseline, and 1% hydrocortisone cream. It works wonders.
