Itching And Irritation In The Groin Area. Used Cortisone. No Relief. Used Eye Drops After Eye Surgery. Could That Be The Reason?

Itchy and irritated on panty line. Have been using cortisone for about 2 weeks -- still itching and starting to be irritated. I have been using a lot of eye drops for about 6 weeks because of my glaucoma surgery. Just now starting to get off the drops. Still using prednisolone AC. Could this be causing the itching and irritation?

Hi,
It seems that this problem might be due to synthetic inner wear or some fungal infection locally.
Use cotton inner wear.
Apply anti-fungal cream locally.
Keep local part clean, dry and airy.
Local use of steroid and eye drops has no such side effects.
Ok and take care.
