Girls with prepubescent vulvovaginitis typically respond well to treatment. The most common form of treatment is medication and, depending on the cause of vulvovaginitis, it can come in the form of antibacterial or antifungal creams, ointments, or even pills. These medications are usually effective at removing the entire infection of vulvovaginitis. However, if children experience more than one case of prepubescent vulvovaginitis in their lifetimes, it can indicate an underlying problem ranging from poor hygiene habits to a sexually transmitted disease.
