Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain Tigboderm Extra cream is a combination ointment containing BETAMETHASONE [steroid]+GENTAMICIN [antibiotic] + TOLNAFTATE [antifungal]+IODO [antiseptic]..

It can be used to reduce itching and pruritis as well as useful in bacterial and fungal infection but inorder to get proper results you should get proper evaluation and diagnosis done..

As you are suffering from itching it is generally due to allergic reaction caused by any food or medicine side effects, Contact Dermatitis caused due to allergic reaction to any skin cosmetic, detergent, soaps, poison ivy etc..

I would suggest you to consult an Allergist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Prick test, Patch test, RAST test etc can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

As TIGBODERM EXTRA CREAM is not available in market you can take other substitutes like Betasol-GM, BEC-GM etc..
To relieve itching you can also take antihistamines like Levocetrizine, Allegra etc..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
