Prescribed Poly Bacitracin Antibiotic Ointment To Treat External Itching On The Crease On Upper And Inner Thighs Worsening. Reason ?

I have been prescribed poly bacitracin antibiotic ointment to treat external itching on the crease of both my inner upper thigh area/ outter part of vagina. Well that didnt work, it worsened. I now been prescribed a powder, nystop, nystatitan tropical powder, to apply 2 to 3 times daily. Also, this pill, cant recall the name, but you take one pill for 3 weeks.. I have already just taken my first pil. My question is why would i, how does this occur? I am one who does get easily hot, sweaty down in that area. So?

Greetings of the day
You seem to be Tinea Cruris which is fungal infection of groin crease. You have already been prescreibed nystatin powder which is anti fungal agent, addition of topical steroid along with anti fungal will help-- try using Candid B Ointment(Clotimazole+Beclomethasone).
Take care
