Dear lybrate-user. Its impossible to say what the thigh itching problem is without even having a look. If it is a fungal infection that you are suspecting the using the above mentioned shampoo is very unlikely to clear it completely. I suggest you have a proper consultation with a qualified dermatologist so you can get a diagnosis first, before treatment can be offered.

Zinc pyrithione has anti fungal action but can also cause irritant or allergic contact dermatitis. Better to have thighs examined by a dermatologist and then treated accordingly.
