Have G6PD. On Treatment For Cancer. Why Are His Buttocks Itching?

My husband has G6PD. He just found out about three months ago when having a treatment for cancer when he had multiple organ failure , and a stroke . He is home now but he is itching on his buttocks and on the sides of his genital area. What creams or medication can I try with him. I have tried the cortizone and lotrimin but it is not working.

Ur husband can try Tab Atarax 25 mg thrice daily after food for 5 days.It contains antihistamine which will reduce the allergic itching.
U can apply cutisoft gel 1% locally which contains Hydrocortisone Acetate.
Along with the above two your husband can take T.Forcan 150 mg once daily after food for 7 days.Forcan contains antifungal agent fluconazole.
These 3 medications should reduce the itching in your husbands buttocks and genital areas.
