Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have a really embarrassing problem. The skin around my vulva and anus is red and it keeps cracking or bleeding. The skin around my anus is also flaky and yellow in some places. It is itchy and is causing me serious embarrassment. It has started affecting me psychologically as it has been an ongoing problem for the past year or so. I have been tested for all STDs including HIV and I am negative. So, it has been ruled out. I have tried all sorts of steroid creams and thrush treatments, but they never worked. I really need help with this as it is making me really depressed. I also got an itchy flaky scalp and occasionally get flaky skin on my eyelids. What could this be and how can I get it treated?
