Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic

I would keep a possibility of fungal infection/tinea cruris.

If I was the treating doctor I would have asked you to use a topical OTC antifungal cream e.g Clotrimazole cream, twice daily for 4 weeks.

An oral antihistamine e.g cetrizine syp, can be given 1tsf at night, for symptomatic relief from itching.
