Dear Patient,

Can you please share a photo of this hairy area so we can assess the issue. We are unable to make a correlation between rash and hair growth. However, if this is due to moisture you can wash her after every stool and then pat dry her. Apply a generous heap of cornflour then before shutting the diaper. This helps keep the area dry and avoid any moisture for hair growth. For further management see a child specialist.
Steroid creams provide temporary relief but as soon as u stop them symptoms come back. Its better to solve the issue than apply additional creams.

Moreover, if you need further help, we recommend checking with a best child specialist in karachi and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/karachi/child-specialist
