I've been using Candid cream and Clocip powder, but I keep getting this itchy sensation again. It feels good when I scratch it, but then it gets really irritating. Can you recommend a good ointment or prescription I could try?

Consider using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole, Miconazole, or Terbinafine, and for itching, apply a topical steroid cream like Hydrocortisone; also, try an anti-itching cream like Sarna or Calamine; if the issue persists, consult a dermatologist for a prescription and proper diagnosis, as recurring itching and irritation may indicate an underlying skin condition.

I've been using Melacare cream for about 3 years now, and I'm starting to notice my skin is becoming really red and I feel this burning sensation. I'm really worried and seriously considering stopping the use of this cream. Can you suggest any measures I should take?

That cream contains steroids which would have made your skin sensitive and lead to hyperpigmentation,you have to deal with for long time have patience it will heal follow your doctors advice.

I've been having these recurring skin allergies for about a year now. It's mostly around my pubic area, under my knee, and on my hip, and it's really itchy and red. I've tried taking itraconazole 100mg, and it helps for a bit, but then the problem just comes back. I'm really not sure what to do next. Could you give me any advice or suggest something I might be missing?
