I don't think there is rash. But whenever I apply clotrimazole cream I get relief and whole day I don't have any problem. But evening time when I reach home I have to take bath again else it starts itching. It has been continuing since last 3 weeks.
Brief Answer:
Fungal infection, antihistaminic & oral anti fungal
Detailed Answer:
According to your complaints it could be a fungal infection.
I would recommend you to take antihistaminic like tablet fexofenadine 180 mg once daily along with anti fungal like tablet terbinafine 250 mg twice daily for 3 weeks.
This should resolve your complaints.
Meanwhile you can continue with clotrimazole cream.
