I'm really struggling with an issue that's been bothering me for the last six months. I've got this persistent itch in the area below my buttocks, and I've tried using Dermiford cream and Btex, but nothing seems to work. The itch just keeps coming back. I even tried a home remedy with tulsi leaves, but that didn't help either. Could you please offer me some guidance on what to do?

Try an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Could it cause more of them to develop or make the existing ones worse? Anything I should be aware of before starting on a protein supplement?
