1. Repeated ear infections
2. Hives
3. Genital and/or anal irritation or trauma

Genital and/or anal irritation or trauma is consistent with sexual abuse. The abused child may also exhibit behavioral signs such as aggression or extreme withdrawal along with any physical trauma. Repeated ear infections, hives, and early appearance of secondary sex characteristics do not indicate sexual abuse.
