Candidiasis, extremely dry and scaly skin in the pubic area, discharge

Patient's question:

Candidal vulvovaginitis, extremely dry and scaly skin in the pubic hair area, excessive discharge

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your symptoms: white scales on the skin of the pubic hair area and intense itching, there are two possible causes to consider. On one hand, it could be due to unhygienic sexual activity or poor lifestyle habits leading to local skin infection. On the other hand, it might be a fungal infection (tinea), possibly related to skin allergies or dietary imbalances causing vitamin deficiencies.
Recommendations:
- Maintain good skin hygiene and cleanliness.
- Adjust your diet to be lighter, reducing spicy and cold foods, while increasing consumption of vitamin-rich vegetables and fruits.
- It is advisable to visit a hospital for examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive targeted treatment.
- Currently, topical anti-itch medications such as Chlorpheniramine ointment, Dexamethasone ointment, or Griseofulvin ointment may be used appropriately.
- Keep the external genital area clean and avoid scratching or rubbing with your hands to prevent further infection.
Wishing you good health.
