General & Family Physician,  's  Response
severe itching is suggesting mostly fungal infection. local application of anti-fungal cream gradually relieves the situation. Terbinafine , miconazole and many other anti fungal creams are available. you can choose for your set up. anti fungal cream need to be applied minimum 3 times a day. one must before sleep so it stays for longer period of time. keep the rashes otherwise dry and clean. as i searched for diprovate g has antibiotic and steroid content. you can apply it simultaneously to avoid supra-added infection. but anti fungal cream is must.
