Welcome to HCM.
Increasing rash after hydro cortisone indicates development of fungal infection.
Discontinue hydro cortisone.
You have to apply strong anti fungal cream like trebinafine to control the fungal infection.
Oral anti fungal will be helpful to subside the fungal infection very fast.
Levocetrizine is required to control the itching.
Take proper local care.
Keep in touch with your doctor.
