Having Itching Between Thigh And Clitoris For Years. Give Me Permanent Solution For This

Hi, I've been having this irriitated itchiness between my thigh and my clitoris. It almost looks like a ringworm, round, yet it doesn't have pimples like a ring worm. I have it on my left and right side down there. I always get it. I'm not sure if its the cause of my pubic hair, but when I do shave its less of an irritation. I've been getting this on and off since my teens and I'm 25 now. When I use a ointment for itchy skin, the itchyness stops, how do I avoid this from happening everytime? It gets bigger though, but just in that area. Please help

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query,

You might have developed fungal infection.

The area of groin around labia is very moist and is prone to develop these infections.

Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals.

Treatment has to be done for at least for 1 month

Various antifungal powders like candid are availabe.

These can help reduce the moisture as well as control the infection.

Please dont use any steroid, it can worsen your condition

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
