Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

No, you should not take steroids. For this kind of itching and irritation. It is the reserved drug used only under doctors guidance.

If you take the steroids it will be first cured but will recurr thereafter. But the recurred itching will be worst at that time.

I suggest you to take the cetrizine tablet under your doctors guidance. It will relieve itching.

I advice you to visit the dermatologist, because rash by this means can be anything. It won't be diagnosed until proper examination is not completed.

Please maintain good hygiene as it is equllay important in curing infection.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
