Itching groin area
I'm having itching near groin and public area since 2 months
Initially it was mild and now it's spread too much area and into thighs. I was using lulifen and no improvement was there. 2 days back consulted a dermatologist and advised to take itracanazole for 20 days and amorolfine cream . I have severe burning sensation and itching after applying the ointment. Looks like inflamed. What should I do?
Can I switch to another cream? Can I apply atarax lotion there? Even after taking Allegra, itching is not subsided. Kindly advise
