What Is The Reason For Dry, Flaky, Cracked Skin Above My Clitoris?
I have been having dry, flakey, cracked skin right about my clitoris. It is sometimes itchy and Vaseline has been helping to clear up the cracked skin. It keeps coming back and I m wondering if it is because of the soap I use. I don t know what this is and why it keeps coming back. HELP.
hi Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum You seem to have developed a fungal infection of the groin region, which can be either tinea infection or candidiasis. You should try to keep the groin region clean and dry . Do not apply any kind of oils or moisturizing creams over the groin region . Wear cotton undergarments inorder to reduce sweating. You need to use an antifungal agent like Clotrimazole gel over the affected area twice a day. Also you might need to take oral antifungals. And to relieve the itching, take oral antihistamines .
Hope it helps,
