Hello. Thank you.

I am Dr. kakkar(Dermatologist and Venereologist). I have noted your concern.

Perhaps you have a fungal infection - heat, humidity and sweating are factors that favour growth of fungus. I request you to kindly upload a few images in " Reports Section " so that I am able to confirm and guide you better.

Thank you. I have viewed the Images.

Perhaps changing to a different topical antifungal would help e.g you mauy use Miconazole nitrate 2% cream, twice daily. In addition you may also take an oral antihistamine e.g tab. cetrizine 10mg once daily for symptomatic relief from itching.
