General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your severe itchiness could be due to fungal infection, lichen palnus.
I would suggest to consult dermatologist and undergo clinical examination, skin biopsy, KOH mount if needed.
You can ask for

Orally itraconazole for 3-4 week to control symptoms
Ointment terfinadine
Take levocetrizine at bed time
Wear pure cotton loose inner
Avoid sweats and stay in cool environment
Avoid sharing soap and towel.
Take healthy diet with vitamin and anti-oxidant supplements to increase the immunity.
Drink plenty of water for better systemic circulation
Hope this may help you

Contact HCM for the further health query
Best regards
