They have given me a hydraqurerzone cream (sorry for spelling) but its not doing anything. I ve also tried olive oil and Vasalin and that s hadn t worked either. It s now driving me insane. Please help!

Hi,
It can be a fungal infection.
Apply antifungal creams and take oral antifungals
Also take antihistaminics for itching
