Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Constant itching not getting relieved by antifungal ointments might be due to - scabies or eczema or atopic dermatitis or there is severe fungal infection that needs systemic antifungal drugs for cure. You need to see your dermatologist for proper examination and diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
