Hi, i'm 20 year old female. And ive been getting a recurring itchy dry patches on my pelvis. Ive gone and gotten tested for stds again and again and nothing has come up. Sometimes they show up when i wear certain types of underwear and it rubs on the fold there. Its usually soothed and goes away when i moisturize it with cocoa butter or jojoba oil. My doctor said it might be some form of dermatitis. It just keeps happenig so im concerned.

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
You might be suffering from a fungal infection of groin,
It is called as Tinea cruris.
Probably treatment with anti fungals is required.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis and treatment.
