I am 21 year old female not sexually active. I have an itchy mons pubis and itchy skin on my thigh send hips around my groin region. This is accompanied by dryness. This is present since last 2 weeks.There is hard lump on mons pubis which is red and painful only on touch. Please suggest if it's fungal or bacterial and what should I use.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
The itching you are experiencing may be due to dryness only. Keep the area well moisturised, but not too humid.
The hard lump on pubis though, indicates a bacterial infection, mostly staphylococcus folliculitis. I'd advise you to take oral antibiotics like XXXX for 5 days. Apply warm compresses over the skin.
Hope it helped.
