Hello,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic. Since you had used antibiotics for a long time and now getting this dry and itchy skin, it can be due to eczematous skin. Do not use the hair removing cream till there is complete healing. Apply some calamine lotion, wear cotton clothes and use a mild soap in the area. Also you can use a non fragranced moisturizing cream. Steroid creams like hydrocortisone should be used after a doctor’s prescription because it has side effects. Also take some antihistaminics to relieve the itching.
Hope it helps. Regards.

you should use calamine lotion or coconut oil over the itchy area. Take the drugs Avil 50mg and Atarax tab 25 mg twice daily for 5 days. Always use cotton clothes specialy for inner wears. Dont use any hair removal cream for one month and check before applying it on skin.
