Itchiness Between Legs, Stretch Marks On Skin. Using A&D Cream. Permanent Cure?

I m a larger girl and I have the worst itch in between my legs. My skin looks like I have stretch marks and I feel like I m going to dig them open. Ive been using an a&d cream and it work once and a while but I would like something more permanent. What should I use? P.S. baby/medicated powder doesn t work. It makes it more itch and I can t take it anymore.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi, look itching between legs could be due to two reasons one it could be a fungal infection for which a topical cream like terbinafine, amorolfine would help you. I dont know what a a &d cream is????
second it could be due to friction and dryness in that part for which a fluticasone cream and a moistoriser will help.
The strech marks have resulted due to use of your cream which i guess is a potent steroid that you are using since long time. first thing is stop using the cream. take care
