Have Small Patch Around Neck. Feel Itching. Using Flucort-H. Need Permanent Solution?

I have a small patch around my neck (right hand side) where I will get itching often . When I use Flucort-H , it goes off but comes back again . I do not know if it is triggered by sweat / something else . Sometimes after using flucort-H / Betonaveta, it will not turn up for some days but suddenly , it comes back . I need a permanent solution . Thanks to advice accordingly. I am having this small patch around my neck for the past 3 / 4 years . it is to be noted that it completely goes off when I apply some cream & few occasions I have not had any issues in between continuously for 2 / 3 months also .
