Suggest Remedy For Itching From Fungal Infection

Hello Doctor, My mother (Age 58) is having fungal infection all over her body (abdomen, back, thighies under arms) and its all reddish. Its there since last 6 months and now the itching is increased so badly that she is not even able to sleep. She has approached now more than 2-3 Dermetologists (including ayurvedic, homeopethic treatments). However, the infection is not at all reduced. She is not able to bare the itching and is now totally restless. She is diabetic and also takes pills for Blood Pressure control Both, sugar level and BP are under control. Please suggest some treatment which can at least stop her etching and she can sleep while this fungus gets treated. Thanks for your support
