Dear XXXXXXX,

Thanks for your query.

Eleurphrat is a steroidal cream and if the rash subsides on application and comes back after discontinuing it then it means either you are suffering from a fungal infection or irritant dermatitis due to the protection you must have used.

Fungal infection is more of a possibility and an oral course of fluconazole along with application of anti fungal cream should take care of the rash. Your doctor knows about the course of fluconazole. He can prescribe it safely.

An irritant dermatitis might be as a result of cleansers that you might be using to keep the area clean. You may clean it with clean and cold water instead of hard soaps or other agents.

Regards
