Recurrent pubic itching frequently indicates reinfection or incomplete resolution of the fungal infection. For a thorough inspection, potential testing, and an extended or alternative antifungal treatment, you should consult a dermatologist. Avoid wearing tight clothing, keep the region dry, avoid using combined steroid creams, and practice good hygiene.

I'm sorry to hear that your itching has returned despite treatment. Itching in the pubic area can be caused by fungal infections, among other reasons. Since you were treated with antifungal medications (Lullizol and Onitraz, which contains itraconazole) and initially improved but now have recurring symptoms, here are some steps you can consider:

  • Revisit a Dermatologist or Venereologist: Persistent or recurrent itching may require a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other causes such as bacterial infections, eczema, or parasitic infestations like scabies.

  • Follow-up Testing: Your doctor might recommend skin scrapings or cultures to identify the exact cause and check for resistance to antifungal treatment.

  • Medication Review: Sometimes, a longer course or a different antifungal medication may be needed. Avoid self-medicating or extending treatment without medical advice.

  • Hygiene and Lifestyle: Keep the area clean and dry. Use mild, fragrance-free soaps and avoid tight clothing that can trap moisture. Change underwear daily and consider using cotton fabrics.

  • Avoid Irritants: Avoid using harsh soaps, scented products, or shaving the area until the itching resolves.

  • Supplements: Some supplements like zinc, vitamin D, and probiotics may support skin health, but these should complement, not replace, medical treatment.

Please consult a dermatologist for a detailed evaluation and personalized treatment plan to effectively address your symptoms. If itching worsens or you notice other symptoms like sores, discharge, or swelling, seek medical attention promptly.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you've been dealing with itching in your pubic area for the past two months and that Lullizol and Onitraz initially helped but the itching has returned. To help me understand better, could you please share your age and gender?
