I've been struggling with this annoying itch around my groin and inside of my buttocks for about three weeks now. I started taking canditral, which seemed to help, but it made me really sleepy. I also tried sebifin 250, but I'm still not sure if it's working. What could be causing this itch, and should I continue with the same medication or try something else? I'm a bit worried about the side effects too.

- Re-evaluate Canditral usage.
- Consider topical treatments like clotrimazole or hydrocortisone.

View allI'm dealing with eczema and was told to use emoderm cream, but I can't find it in any of the pharmacies around here. Can you suggest an alternative cream that would work in its place?
An alternative to Emoderm cream for eczema could be Elica cream. You can apply Elica cream thinly on the affected skin twice a day for relief from eczema symptoms.
