How to reduce fungal infection in buttocks

Hello Doctor, I have been experiencing persistent itching and dryness in my buttock area for the past 1–2 years. The skin appears scaly, sometimes thickened, and the itching gets worse at night or with sweat. I’ve used some creams before, which gave temporary relief, but the issue keeps coming back. Could this be a fungal infection or eczema? I’m looking for a proper diagnosis and a long-term treatment plan. Should I do any tests like a KOH examination or skin biopsy? Thank you.

I'm having hyperpigmentation around mouch for atleast last 15 years.I'm 23 now. I have tried all home remedies but nothing seems to work. I'm also having hypothyroidism for past 11 years and PCOS since 2021. Is the hyperpigmentation persist due to these disorders? But for these I'm taking medications.I had gone through weight loss also.Sometimes the hyperpigmentation reduces and sometimes it worsens.My skin is so sensitive.But I'm not having acne issues.Can you please suggest me some dermatological products for reducing hyperpigmentation.

Thanks for sharing openly—it really helps paint the full picture. Yes, your long-standing hyperpigmentation around the mouth is very likely linked to your hormonal conditions—especially hypothyroidism and PCOS, both of which can disrupt melanin production and skin repair. Since your skin is sensitive, many common DIY treatments may actually worsen things by causing irritation or rebound pigmentation. Also, fluctuations in hormone levels or weight changes can make the pigmentation come and go. The good news is: with the right dermatological routine, it can be managed and even significantly reduced.

Here’s a gentle but effective dermatologist-recommended routine you can try:

1. Face Wash (AM/PM): Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser or Bioderma Sensibio Foaming Gel – great for sensitive skin.

2. Morning Cream (AM): Minimalist Vitamin C 10% + E + Ferulic Acid Serum (apply only on dry skin, avoid mouth corners if irritated).

3. Moisturizer (AM/PM): Sebamed Moisturizing Cream or CeraVe Moisturizing Cream – fragrance-free and hydrating.

4. Sunscreen (AM, even indoors): La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF 50 or Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry Touch SPF 50 – crucial daily.

5. Night Treatment (PM): Azelaic Acid 10% (The Ordinary or Minimalist) or Kojic Acid + Niacinamide cream (like Demelan Lite or Kojiglo Gold), which gently target pigmentation without irritating skin.

Avoid scrubbing or using lemon, turmeric, or baking soda on that area—they can make pigmentation worse over time. Also, continue managing your thyroid and PCOS with your current meds—it makes a difference. Give this routine at least 8–12 weeks, and you’ll start seeing real changes.
