I've been having some trouble with itching and dryness around the pubic area for the last few days. I tried washing with Dettol and used Vaseline petroleum jelly and coconut oil, which helped a bit, but the sides where the panties sit still hurt like they would if they were too tight. The pain has gone down now, but the dryness and a little bit of itching are still there. What should I do to get rid of this?

For relief from itching, dryness, and discomfort in the pubic area, continue maintaining good hygiene, and consider applying a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic moisturizer or a cream containing urea or hyaluronic acid to soothe and lock in moisture; additionally, wear breathable, loose-fitting clothing, avoid tight-fitting panties, and refrain from using harsh soaps or douching, as these can exacerbate dryness and irritation.

I'm really embarrassed to talk about this, but I've noticed something called Trichomycosis Pubis that appeared around 4 months ago. It's really grossing me out and makes me feel unclean. I haven't told my parents and I really want to get rid of it as soon as possible. Any advice on what I should do?
topical antibiotic cream like clindamycin or mupirocin, which can effectively treat the infection. Antiseptic washes like chlorhexidine or benzoyl peroxide can also be used to clean the affected area. Proper Hygiene: Keep the area clean and dry. Regular washing with mild soap and water is important to avoid excessive sweating or moisture, as bacteria thrive in these environments. Avoid using harsh soaps or scrubbing, as it may irritate the skin.
