Sir I have been suffering from itching nearly 2 months now. My friend had a similar problem and I started using medicines prescribed to him. I felt relieving soon and I discontinued the medication after a few days. I had been using onabet b cream. But later it spread over my upper body and hands.. It fest appeared under belly and back. At first I felt it like a problem of the hot weather. Please suggest me a remedy soon..

Hi jithinkk,
Thanks for writing in.
There is nothing to be worried about.
You can have tinea corporis,seborrheic dermatitis,intertrigo etc.
Onabet b cream is useful for many conditions.
You can use medicated soap like Candid soap.
Also you can take tablet Zyrtec for itching.
These will help a lot.
Please do not self medicate.You may damage your skin permanently by using creams like this.Long term use like 2 months can be dangerous.
I encourage you to visit a qualified dermatologist for proper diagnosis ant treatment.
Hope this helps.
