If a skinny girl works out to P90x while taking creatine will this help her to build muscle mass?

Creatine will help, but if you want to build muscle mass you need to increase your protein intake and cut back some on the carbs (but not a lot). The rule of thumb is one gram of protein per day for every pound of body weight you have if you're trying to build muscle mass, so if you weigh 100 pounds you need 100 grams of protein in your diet every day.
