TLDR The girl's itchy armpit and pubic lesions didn't improve with antifungal cream.
A 14-year-old girl experienced severely itchy lesions in the armpits and pubic region for 6 months, following laser treatment and axillary hair loss. The lesions were skin-coloured to yellowish-brown papules, 1–2 mm in size, with a dome-shaped, smooth surface, distributed around hair follicles. Despite treatment with ketoconazole cream for a suspected fungal infection, there was no improvement. The document did not provide the diagnosis, which was referenced on another page.
