Suggest Remedy For Excessive Itchy Hips During Postpartum Period
I am 5months post partum. Started having body itch around my hip at 2months postpone partum and it gradually spread down to my leg, thigh and now back. Have used anti histamine and other anti fungi cream as advised my my doctor but the itch is still there. As I get relieved from one spot, it developed somewhere else. What s the cause and what should I do to stop this?

The description of the lesions suggests the possible diagnosis of tinea corporis which is an antifungal drug.Topical antifungal creams like sertaconazole may be used. Oral antifungal tablets like Terbinafine or fluconazole can be used if you are not breastfeeding. Discuss these treatment options with your dermatologist.Regards.
