Have Itchy Dark Patch On Legs And Inner Thigh. Diagnosed As Infection. Not Cured By Medicine. Is It Eczema?

Hi I have an itchy dark patch on both sides of my legs on the inner thigh I visited the doctor and she said that it might be thrush or another infection. She gave me clotrimazole cream it is almost finish and it hasnt worked. I researched this on the internet and many places are saying it is eczema . If so what is the remedy? It is very itchy and uncomfortable and is making my inner thighs very dark. Is there something i can get over the counter?
