Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Perhaps you may try a topical antifungal cream for a few weeks. Clotrimazole 1% cream is available over the counter. I suggest you to apply it twice daily for 4 weeks. In addition, you can take an oral antihistamine, e.g., Cetirizine tablet once every evening for symptomatic relief from itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kakkar S.
