Other possibilities are fixed Chat Doctor. In any of above cases Mixed preparation Like steroid antifungal combination ointment can hide the exact diagnosis but relieved you symptomatically. For diagnose your condition properly you need to stop applying topical cream ointment for at least 14 days. Take tablet-Atarax 25 mg twice daily for 14 days.
