What Causes An Itchy White Patch On The Mons Pubis?

Hi, ever since i was younger i have had a small kind of white patch on my mons pubs above my clitoris area however now that im getting older(still in my teens) it has slightly increased in size and im afraid it is something more important. It isnt constantly itchy however, when i do start to itch i cant stop. I have tried to put cream on it however i feel as though this doesnt help at all.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello. You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and pubic area. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams like tablet fluconazole once a week and ketoconazole or clotrimazole for local application. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, hh zole, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams.
