Brief Answer:
Oral and topical anti fungals, antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I have gone through your complaints and you have applied the wrong medicine.
Cloben GM contains steroid which will never let the fungal infection cure.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to take oral and topical anti fungals.
I would recommend you to take tablet terbinafine 250 mg ( tablet Sebifin) twice daily and apply luliconazole cream ( lulifin cream) on the affected areas once daily.
For itching take antihistaminic like tablet levocetrizine 5 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
Antifungals are prescription drugs and should be taken under the supervision of the doctor.

Regards,
Dr. Asmeet
