Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
I am Dr. Kakkar. I have gone through your query.
Have you been taking some antifungal tablets as well? Topical creams alone are sometimes not effective in curing the infection.

no, i am not using any tablet. its just the cream. Affected are quite itchy and turns reddish.
Brief Answer:
Oral antifungals; dusting powder to be added
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
I would suggest an oral antifungal e.g tab sebifin 250 mg (terbinafine) once daily for a month.
Topically you may use clotrin-B cream for 4 weeks rather than sebifin plus cream.
An OTC oral antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10 mg once daily would provide you symptomatic relief from itching.
After completing the course, it is recommended to use an antifungal dusting powder regularly in the groin folds to prevent recurrence e.g clotrimazole dusting powder (Abzorb powder).
