Hi thanks for using HCM
The itching could be due to the allergy
You can have antihistamine tablets (which reduces itching)
you can also apply moisturising cream with aloe Vera .It gives some relief

I have a doubt regarding the medication you had prior to this complaint...
If it is oral tablet then it is unlikely to cause itching on a particular place.Usually these causes generalised itching...

If it is a local applicant and you applied over these area then it can cause these problems...

Fungal infection. also can cause itching

Precise treatment can be told after full history and seeing the lesion

thank you...
