Brief Answer:
Oral and topical antifungals.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
I am Dr kakkar (Dermatologist and Venereologist). I have noted your concern.
I suggest you to apply a topical antifungal e.g Clotrimazole cream, twice daily for 2 weeks. In addition to this you may take an oral antifungal e.g Tab. Fluconazole once daily for 2 weeks.
I also suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g Cetrizine tab once every evening for symptomatic relief from itching.
These are prescription medications and I advice you to talk to your local practitioner for a prescription of the same.
Hope I have answered your query.
