Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The history and the symptoms suggests me that you are having some fungal infection for which your doctor has prescribed some medicine to control the symptoms. But still your symptoms are prevailing.

I would suggest you to follow
1.Tab cetrizine drug which helps to control the itching.
2.Tab Terbinafine which is an effective broad spectrum anti fungal drug
3.Cream Sertaconazole Nitrate which should be applied twice daily for four weeks and it should be applied to cover the affected areas.

These medicines will help you to cure your condition but it requires minimum of 2-3 weeks to act effectively and reduce your symptoms.
Thank you.
