It does not matter which oestrogen cream you use, the problem is to get the mother to apply it.  She is tempted to put it on just before a bath, so that it gets immediately washed off.  You have to tell her that it will only be used until the labia part, that this can take maybe three weeks and that her daughter will not grow breasts or start her periods.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
