Hello,

The rash with itching and dryness suggestive of fungal infection as fungal infection history also present.

For that flutivate will not be beneficial. You should apply antifungal cream over lesion like clotrimazole.

However, I suggest you consult a nearby dermatologist for detailed evaluation and get prescription accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
