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..
I use aloe when this happens. it calms it down and makes it wet area again, because of the heat in the vagina it soaks it ; and its a healthy way of doing it. try handling it with that:)
An antifungal cream used to treat thrush helped me with this condition (I think the same condition as yours) try that and also make sure you are deworming your family regularly
I use a mycota cream for athletes foot! I tried creams off the doctor and numerous over the counter. At the time apart from the itch in my pubic hair the rash was spreading down my leg. This cream although hurt like hell to put on the first few times quickly got rid of the redness, sadly I cannot get rid of the pubic hair itch completely but this cream helps. Had the problem for about 18 months.
So glad to see this page as I thought I was on my own!

The cream the Dr gave me for itching around pubic hair & vulva, plus above breasts, was MICREME H, aNTI fUNGAL, anti-inflammatory. It did relieve the situation, but if the fungus is on clothes, bedclothes, on towels, in the washing machine, then you are going to keep getting new colonies!
CANDIDA is A YEAST INFECTION and can affect the whole body, not just the vulval / vaginal area.
I tried using CANASTEN vaginal cream, smeared on the outside (not as it is designed for which is intra-vaginal), and it seems to help relieve the itch.
This gave me the idea to use CANASTEN LAUNDRY LIQUID which will treat all my towels, sheets, underwear to kill off Candida fungus.
If it is Candida, you also need to watch diet. No sugar or yeast, (bread, wine, soy sauce, etc). Google Candida treatment.

I have also had similar problem in last 3 months, over a very hot summer. Itching which drives me mad, because I can't scratch while in the supermarket or on the street. I sometimes worry that I might scratch in public without knowing as it has become almost a sub-conscious action now. Dr gave me anti-fungal cream, MICREME H, which does relieve the condition enough to sleep, but the itching does come back next day. Worse after hot shower. I've been told not to use strong soap - I was using PROTEC soap which is anti-bacterial, but that has been connected with sensitive skin problems. Also have a patch of dermatitis on left sole of foot, and on both palms at bottom of the thumb. This suggests some kind of irritant.
Beginning to suspect it might be in the water tank - Im in a rural area where water comes off the roof and in a drought, it comes from a bore (drill). Wondering what chemicals are making their way into the water table. the lab tests came back with a range of results: Nitrates (from fertilisers) which will feed the growth of algae (possible cause), and bugs like E Coli and Campylobacter (birds). Yuk! I'm getting double filtration and Ultra violet water treatment system put in, at cost of thousands.
This will not remove Nitrates (fertiliser) and I am wondering if this is the culprit.
Also, if we are on tank water, we have to ensure the Ph is correct as if the water becomes too acid, it is a skin irritant. I was told when I had a SWIMMING POOL to adjust the Ph by adding Baking Soda to reduce acidity.
The vulval area is very porous to water, and if the water is acid, then this could be the culprit.
