Hello Doctor,
I’ve noticed that after my period, the skin on my inner thigh becomes white and flaky. I’m not sure if it’s due to the changes in my body during my cycle, or if it could be something else. Could this be related to any skin condition or hormone changes? What should I do to treat it?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Based on what you've described, the white and flaky skin on your inner thigh after your period is most likely caused by dryness, which is common due to hormonal changes during your cycle. However, if there is increased moisture in the area, a Candida infection could also be a possibility. Candida infections often cause itching, redness, and flakiness, and the diagnosis can typically be made by visually examining the skin. I recommend keeping the area clean and dry, using a gentle moisturizer, and wearing breathable fabrics. If the condition persists or worsens, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
Thanks
