Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your itching may be due to Eczema or a fungal infection. Eczema would get better with Beclomethazone and is an appropriate treatment. But if you have a fungal infection, then Beclomethazone decreases the itching but may make the infection worse. So it may be better to see a skin specialist, get yourself examined and tested before using the powerful steroid medication. Do get back to me if you have further questions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
