Hello Amy,
The red rashes on the mons pubis will be part of the generalised urticarial eruptions you had in the past.
Unless you are examined, it is difficult to exclude a fungal infection for which topical antifungals will work. For the dry and itchy skin, you can apply 0.1% hydrocortisone cream twice daily for a week and stop.
Do not apply more than a week.
If after 2-3 days, it is no better, a combined cream will help.
There are triple action creams available like antibacterial, antifungal and a mild steroid when it is difficult to exclude mixed infections.
Hope that helps.
