Have Cut While Shaving, Its Turned To Rash And Itches. Used Neosporin. Medicine Recommended?

Well, I had cut myself shaving bout 3months ago, and now the cut has turned in to a quarter size rash that itches badly. I used neosporin a lot. And has not helped. But I keep scratching it and reopening the cuts and it gets bigger and the rash is itchy a lot. I do not think its crabs becus I donot see any black specs but my cuts. What medicine or herbs can I use to heal it . Tips please.?

Hello,
The most likely cause for your rash is fungal infection.
Apply locally an antifungal cream like CLOTRIMAZOLE,twice daily for 3 weeks and in addition take an oral antifungal medicine like FLUCANAZOLE 150 mg every week for 6 weeks.
Thanks
