Hello dear,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
The most likely possibility for itchy rash on butt is tinea corporis that is a fungal infection of skin.
Still I will advice you to put a pic of the lesions so that I can actually visualise it and help you to my best.
Kindly also mention the name of cream you have been advised to put.
Fungal infection of body takes 2-4 weeks atleast for complete cure.
Stay healthy.
