When the disease is spreading, you should not wait to consult a dermatologist. Never self medicate or go by advice of neighbours friends and chemists. They might suggest creams which will give instant relief but harm you in the long run

Its better to take proper guidance from dermatologist when you have itching, for relief you can try ketoconazole based cream, but for proper cure, course of tablets needed to be adjusted by expert dermatologist
