Hello,

As per your history, it may be due to dermatitis.

For that you can apply hydrocortisone ointment locally.

You can take tablet loratidine for itching.

Avoid harsh cosmetic products like soap.

Avoid sweating.

Use loose cotton clothes.

Maintain proper hygiene.

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

Regards,
