Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Do we know what was the cause of your rash? You have been prescribed a a combination of steroids and antifungal medications. The itch will always subside if you take steroid based medications. The swelling on the face is probably due to the methylprednisolone.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
