Hello, I understand your concern
These injuries are usually minor and heal well with care. No need to panic – but monitor healing and hygiene.
Next Steps
Hygiene: Wash the area gently with lukewarm water after passing urine
No soap or antiseptics directly on the wound
Use clean cotton underwear, change twice daily
Pain relief: Paracetamol or Ibuprofen for pain
Applying a cold compress (wrapped in cloth) for 10 mins can reduce swelling
Soothe while passing urine: Have her pour water over the vulva while urinating (reduces burning)
Encourage her to drink more fluids to dilute urine
Avoid: Scrubbing, talcum powders, or home remedies
Tight pants or synthetic underwear
Health Tips
Wound is not healing in 3–5 days
Increased swelling, discharge, foul smell
Fever, persistent pain, or child unable to pass urine

Good evening parent!
If the wound is too small to need a stitch you can keep it clean by gentle washing with Dove body wash.
Use TBact twice daily over the wound for a week
A simple Bepanthen cream or Vaseline can be applied to the wound 3-4 times daily to prevent the irritation caused by urination
Hope her vaccination is uptodate - then Tetanus toxoid is not required
