When I sweat a lot,
my pubic hair turns white or orange with build up on the pubic hair.
It only does it when I sweat alot and clears up if I don't sweat a lot. What is this and should I see a doctor soon,
if so what kind of doctor?

 Hello,
These lesions could be due to:
- Inflammation of the Hair follicles and sebaceous (sweat) glands.
They may be infected; trichomycosis in the case of sweat glands and folliculitis in the case of hair follicles.
They may be visible as small nodules or might only be felt as small lumps in the skin. They are yellow/black or red nodules on the hair shafts in the inguinal region. They may contain pus in them.
- Dermatitis
Dermatitis is referred to different types of skin rashes that are caused by infections, allergies, and irritants.
Contact Dermatitis occurs due to skin contact with a substance that causes an allergic reaction (allergic contact Dermatitis)
or with an irritant substances (irritant contact Dermatitis).
- Although it sounds strange to think of Acne, but your description is very suggestive of Acne. In reality many people may have Acne in the pubic region even without having this on the usual areas like face and chest.
Direct clinical examination is essential for diagnosis.
I advise you to follow with your Doctor.
Keep us updated.
Best regards.
