Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Since when are you applying these creams. It's possible you could be having allergic dermatitis. Has your Dermatologist recommended this cream. If it's due to allergy it is recommended that you do a Patch testing as well to find out what you are allergic to and can gradually get de-sensitized or stay away from it. You can take antihistamines to tide over the severe itching and can apply soothing Lactocalamine lotion as well. Avoid sun exposure. Eat plenty of fruits and green leafy vegetables which are rich in antioxidants. Exercise everyday by brisk walking for 40 minutes a day.
