What medicine can help itching in the thighs and underarms?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 57-year-old male. I do not have BP problems or diabetes. I have been suffering from itching near the thighs and underarm area for the last two months. I have taken Terbinafine 250 mg once daily and Luliconazole cream for six weeks. Since the last two to three days, the itch has started again.

Please advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query.

Your concern may be intertrigo secondary to candidal yeast infection. You should stop using the Terbinafine tablet and try Sporanox (Itraconazole) 100 mg capsule. Have it once daily for four weeks.

Hope it helps.

Thank you.
