Hi, Thanks for using the HCM.
Your history of itching is suggestive of fungal infection in genital region..
betnovate is a steroid preparation, which should not be used in infectious condition..
So first stop applying betnovate cream, you can take topical application of antifungal cream like clotrimazole vaginal cream and take oral antifungal agents..
wash your innerwears in hot water and sun dry ..
take bath daily and keep area clean and dry..
check your blood sugar levels to rule out DM
For itching you can take loratidine tab morning once a day..
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Thanks get well soon
