- It seems to be itching more at night.
- I never used to sweat more or less than normal.
- No relevant family and travelling history.
- I have taken Benadryl and applied Calamine lotion which has caused burning sensation, so I stopped it.

Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
It is due to fungal infection.
Please wear loose cotton inner wears.
Avoid moisture.
See that there is adequate ventilation.
You can apply topical antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Candid) cream or fungicidal cream like Terbinafine (sebifin) cream twice daily.
Take antihistamine like Cetirizine in morning and Atarax (Hydroxyzine Hydrochloride) 25 mg in night to relieve itching.
If it subsides, then it is a fungal infection.They are known for recurrence.
You can use antifungal dusting powders like Candid or abzorb powder to prevent recurrence.
If it does not subside consult a dermatologist for examination, scraping test, etc, for diagnosis and management.
