Hi,

The itchy rash you have can be either allergic or fungal in nature. They can be differentiated by clinical sign & pathological test of skin scrapping. Allergic rash would go with steroid skin cream & fungal rash would be controlled by antifungal ointment like over-the-counter Multifungin.

Try fugal medicine first 5 days & then steroid one. In case of no relief,you would need oral medication. Please consult a skin specialist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
