Suggest Treatment For Dry And Discolored Patches Around Pubic Area

Hello there, For the last few months, I have been noticing some discolored patches around my bikini and pubic area. The multiple patches are only a little darker and browner than my normal skin, and every once in awhile they get very dry but not itchy. I am sexually active but have always used protection. I use lotion to fix the dryness but the coloration and patches remain. Advice please?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I can understand your concern for dry discolored patches around your bikini and pubic area.

After analyzing your query I can make out that you have “Fungal infection” of the area causing discolored patches around my bikini and pubic area. These are common type of infections due to fungus which more commonly affects the areas which are more prone for sweating or moist areas.

These can also be related to the hygiene and environmental factors along with hormonal problem such as diabetes.

I suggest my patients to apply a cream containing anti-fungal creams such as clotrimazole for two times. I also suggest my patients to take antihistamine like Levo-cetrizine.

I suggest you to prevent conditions of moistness or humidity to prevent fungal growth.

Hope the information helps.
