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.
Ketoconazole shampoo is quite safe and there should be no apprehensions in using.
Next Steps
Your dermatologist will decide a treatment plan for you after a consultation.
