Suggest Treatment For Itchy Rash Behind Knee
Hello, I have had a itchy rash behind my knee for a bout a month and a half that just doesn t seem to go away. I ve used bactracin, hydrocortisone, and this benadryl anti-itch cream, while it solves the symptom the rash itself seems to be getting worse. I am guessing that its a fungal rash?

hi,
thank you for posting on HCM.
as per your history, you may have fungal infection(tinea corporis) or frictional dermatitis.
my treatment advise would be:
-- maintain hygiene.
-- wear loose cotton clothes.
-- stop applying corticostroids cream on your own.
-- consult a dermatologist nearby for proper diagnosis and treatment. you may need a course of oral and topical antifungals for the same.
-- you may take tab levocetrizine twice a day for itching.
wishing you healthy skin
thank you
