Sir, Good Morning.
Stay Safe.
The tubes that you have been using (like lobate gm) contain steroids, which will take away the itch, but will increase the infection.
You would need oral meds and the latest topical creams to cure the infection
Next Steps
please send pics
Health Tips
- Bathe twice a day
- Keep toiletries and clothes seperate
- Sun dry the clothes and iron them inside out
- Use the oral meds and topical creams regularly for minimum 4 weeks
- Do not eat hot spicy chilly oily foods
- Wear loose cotton clothes
- Avoid Undergarments for a few days
