Dipsalic is a steroid preparation, it should be used cautiously, it should not be applied in crease/ joints as it has fallowing side effects:
thinning of skin
fungal infection

you can take tab. loratidine for itching control, and apply moistirising cream...
FOr further management consult dermatologist
