Cause And Cure For Dry, Itchy, Flaking Skin On Mons Pubis?
What is the cause n cure for dry itchy n flaky skin on the mons pubis in women. My sister is also diagnosed with PCOS . Has this skin condition got anything to do with hormones or is it just a skin infection. She is having it for around two years now. She did try anti fungal creams but no change. Instead the skin on mons pubis has blackened a bit n looks as if aging. Pls advice

Hi,
It may be lichen simplex chronicus. It may be precipitated by stress and worries. Soap bath may exacerbate the condition. You may consult the dermatologist for the perfect treatment. I would recommend you to apply mild steroid cream on the affected parts. Take antihistaminic like levocetirizine daily at night. And you may take oral steroid in tapering doses under observation of doctor.
Hope this helps.
