Asked by Female, 30 · 2 months ago
You should have genital psoriasis checked by a doctor or dermatologist, as the skin in that area is very sensitive. The doctor may advise using a simple moisturising emollient to relieve dryness and a short course of hydrocortisone cream to ease itching. Try to keep the area well moisturised, avoid friction, and stop using any product that causes irritation or redness.

Moisturizing Ointments

Mild Topical Corticosteroids
- Consider hydrocortisone 1% cream for itching and inflammation. Use sparingly and consult a dermatologist.
General Care Tips
- Avoid harsh soaps, keep the area clean and dry, and wear breathable cotton underwear.
Consultation
- See a dermatologist for personalized treatment to avoid worsening symptoms or irritation.
If symptoms worsen or signs of infection appear, seek medical advice promptly.
