I'm dealing with some really dry skin issues and I've got this visible white spot in a sensitive area. It's painful between my thighs and around my genital area. I'm worried it might be some kind of fungal infection or maybe scabies. Can I use Vaseline petroleum jelly to help with the dryness, or could that make things worse? I'm just not sure what the best thing to do is.

No vaseline jelly is not advised.

I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I've been using this steroid cream, Lobate GM, for quite some time because every time I try to stop, my skin breaks out in itchy rashes. Now that I'm expecting, I'm concerned about continuing with it. Can you help me figure out what to do? I really don't want to keep using it, but my skin flares up without it. What are my options here?
