Brief Answer:
Topical & oral anti fungals, antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query.
For fungal infection I would recommend you to take oral and topical anti fungals.
I would recommend you to take tablet terbinafine 250 mg twice daily and apply luliconazole cream on the affected areas once daily for 4 weeks.
For itching and irritation take antihistaminic like tablet levocetrizine 5 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
These are prescription drugs and should be taken under the supervision of the doctor.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
