I'm having the problem of itching from the past 5 months. Have consulted 3 different skin specialists, each one diagnosed differently, treated differently but hardly any benefit. 1st one diagnosed it as dermatitis and treated with Fluconazole Methylprednisolone. Problem did not subside. 2nd one diagnosed it as a different kind of dermatitis and treated with Itraconazole. Problem did not subside. 3rd one diagnosed it as scabies and treated with different compounds. Problem did not subside. Various creams - Itraconazole, Clobetasol, Neomycin etc. Tried. Problem subsides but after some time recurs. Sweating causes the itching to spread all over body. Presently, main affected parts are Groin, lower back, belt line, below knees all along lower limb. Itching causes a lot of discomfort especially during nights.

Hello lybrate-user, I assume from reading that you are suffering from Pruritus Intriago meaning itching usually under the skin fold which usually caused due to fungal infections. Ensure you take bath twice daily and remove all unwanted hairs and keep the body dry and wear a loose fitting clothing. These precautions are other the medication prescribed by the doctors. You continue to suffer from fungal infections is because of repeated fungal infections. With above suggestions I think it will help. If your itching is not coming under control then I would suggest you go for full medical check-up to investigate any underlying systematic diseases. Alternatively you can consult me Homoeopathic treatment if your problems is not solved. Hopefully your questions is answered.
