A member asked:
Have folliculitis in pubic area , using flucloxacillin + kenacomb cream. now have sticky white crust on undies, what is it? is this a worrying sign?

Probably not: Although, it is really hard to know without seeing it, but if the antibiotic you are taking is the right choice one, crusting may represent healing. I am not sure what you are using the cream for but mixed in with pus it may dry up causing crusts to develop.
