Itching has been happening since a good 3 months and it has started becoming red..later it dries up and then the same story repeats. Have consulted doctors and used creams and tablets but still no use.

Thanks for the query. Fungal infection is becoming an increasing problem due to rampant usage of antifungals. Please see a dermatologist as some extra medications are coprescribed many a times to treat. If needed a simple skin test can also be done. Till then use only OTC anti-allergic medications to control itching. Personal hygiene should be good. Wear loose fitting clothes.
Next Steps
Your specialist will decide a treatment plan for you after a consultation.
