Pubic hair area itching horribly
This is so embarassing...for the past 6 months I have had severe itching right at the bottom of my pubic hair, my vagina does not itch only the hair above my vagina... I went to the Dr. she found nothing and made me an appointment with a dermatologist..yeah right like I was going to a dermatologist for this embarrassing problem. It went away for a bout a week and reappeared.. I am a profuse sweater and sweet down there a lot. I bought all cotton panties, feminine wipes, tons of creams over the counter... The area gets so dry and scaly, the itch is almost umbarrable sometimes. Can females get jock itch? I bought some jock itch medication and have been using it for a bout 3 days...seems to be helping but, will it? 6 months seems too long for this to be going on..I do not have a urinary tract infection, no std's, Gosh I need help...my regular doctor has not been much help at all. It seems to get worse when I sweat or get really hot..Please if anyone else knows what this could be or has had the problem themselves please let me know..
First of all Go TO THE DERMATOLOGIST. I had the same issue but it was all over my vulva. I had chronic ITCHING for a year and it wasnt yeast or BV. Thankfully once I went to the dermatologist she was able to help. Try to take antihistamines for the itching and buy a lotion that helps with eczema or itching if u can trim a little maybe the hair is irritating your skin
Ive been having this problem since birth and have seen some of the top healthcare physicians across canada. There has been no solution. Over 80 prescriptions and 39 doctors and 7 hospitals. I have never received diagnosis.
Never be embarrassed to go to your any type of doctor they have seen it all. I felt the same way with the same problem but finally went to a dermatologist. Turns out that I have eczema. I was prescribed a derma cream and it is mostly permanently gone. A small manageable area is left. I do find shaving away the hair helps and that during times of high moisture makes it worse. On particularly dry time using vasiline helps. Go to a dermatologist.
This is most likely candida (a yeast/fungus that thrives with moisture and sugar). Cut your sugar consumption (or try a candida cleanse diet) and use a topical antifungal like clotrimazole. It's a very inexpensive over-the-counter pharmaceutical specifically for yeast/fungal infections. Good luck!
Okay I'm 19 and I'm having the same problem :'-( This has been going on since i was was in 8th grade (13-14). Its been 5 years and it's like on and off. Every month it comes back and I haven't talked to a doctor yet. When it itches really bad I just put baby powder. I read it somewhere online that it stops the itchin but not for long. I don't really have a choice rn because idk what it's called and why this is happening to me.
I have had the very same problem for a number of years now. I had tried all the over-the-counter remedies for itch with no success. Vaseline helped somewhat, but never cured the problem. From what started out as a tiny itchy spot above the vagina area in the pubic hair about 8 years ago until now, when the itch was covering the entire area of pubic hair region and literally driving me to tears and hopelessness. My GYN had no idea what was causing it and I was too embarrassed to talk to my doctor about it. Finally, in desperation, a few days ago I applied a cream prescribed by a nurse-practioner for an itchy, scaly spot on my thumb. I had wondered about using it for the troublesome itch, but was kind of leery about using it in such an area as the vagina. But in desperation, I thought I would try it. I applied it at bed time and was amazed that I could almost sleep through the night without scratching myself to the point of bleeding. I reapplied it the next morning and went through the entire day with hardly any itching. I've been using the cream for about 5 days now, and I have not been troubled with the itching at all the past 2 days. I am amazed and so thankful to feel normal again. The cream is "Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream USP, 0.1%" You might ask your doctor to prescribe it for you and hopefully you'll see the same results that I am seeing. Good luck!
