Anyone know what's wrong with my skin?

It's like this just under my stomach, and it's on my groin and on the sides where the creases are near the Vulva

It happens every 6 weeks, almost like clock work. It peels big sheds of brown skin, which goes all crinkly and shiny before peeling

Anyone know what it is? Itches me to no end too Blush

There's no photo. Do these areas rub?

Could be a recurrent fungal skin infection. I’d take photos of it. Book a GP appointment and email the surgery the photos for the GP to look at.

*photos of stomach only, realised was not specific.

It's not letting me add photos, sorry

But sometimes my lips on Vulva peel too... don't think it's related though

I've had loads of swabs for thrush before and all negative Sad have even treated it as if it was too

Probably a fungal infection. Treat it with Canestan Cream twice a day after thoroughly washing and drying. It'll probably reoccur, so apply Canestan a couple of times a week after it's cleared up.

You need to see a doctor when it’s active, so you can get a diagnosis and some treatment.

Thrush is caused one type of fungus- yeast. Groin area fungal infections are usually a different fungus so you would test negative for thrush. This type of infection would require stronger/different anti fungal from Canestan.
