Hello

Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic

You may apply an OTC topical antifungal cream e.g clotrimazole 1% cream, twice daily for 2-4 weeks.

An oral antifungal e.g Tab. Fluconazole 150 mg once every week for 4 weeks would help clear it faster. However it is a prescription drug.

An OTC oral antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10 mg tablet once daily would provide you symptomatic relief from itching.
