There can be many causes for the same
Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Well ma'am, there can be many causes for itching around that particular region but I shall try to narrow it down and provide you a list of the most likely causes ma'am:
+Dry skin: Can be related to various factors like hydration, weather, etc.
+Medications: Various medications can cause side effects like itching, rashes, hormonal imbalances, etc.
+Hormonal imbalance: There are various conditions and causes that can result in a hormonal imbalance, which in turn can cause the specific presentation you are experiencing
+Diseases: Iron deficiency, thyroid abnormalities, kidney abnormalities, celiac disease, etc.
+Allergies
and a few others.
Please also understand ma'am, that cortisone only helps suppress the symptoms and does not treat the cause. Our aim would be to treat the cause, because as long as the cause is present the symptom will be present. I would also like to clarify whether you used this cream before you started experiencing the itching or after?
I hope you find my response helpful and informative. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help you.
Best wishes.

Yes, quite likely
Detailed Answer:
Hello once again ma'am.
Thank you so much for that information.
Fioricet (with the active ingredients acetaminophen, caffeine, and butalbital) can have various side effects, and if at all you have been experiencing the itching ever since you started this medication, then the side effects pertaining to our discussion are worth mentioning. They include:
+Itching (can be generalised or on any one particular region)
+Hives
+Flushed or dry skin (generalised or in particular regions): This can also result in the itching
+Tingling sensation: Can also result in the itching
+Redness or puffiness of any particular area
and many more.
Please note that all the above mentioned side effects are one of the more common ones and are only very few of the long list of possible side effects. I would suggest you discontinue the use of this pain management medication and drink plenty of water to help with excretion of this medication from your body. Then observe if the itching still persists; if it does then there should be another cause for the presentation, but if it doesn't then we have found the culprit.
I hope you find my response helpful. Please do not hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
