    you must make sure that you keep your skin moisturized at all times as this helps in keeping the ezcema away.use specially formulated lotions and creams. yes you will need to go to a doctor who will prescribe the correct medicine for you to use to stop the itching.

    You can apply salicylic acid creams daily to eradicate the fungus. Use it after washing the affected part with mild soap. I suggested this since it's much cheaper but if you can buy a more expensive cream to apply, use bethamethasone creams. They are intended for all types of skin problems.

    There are pretty good creams available these days. Steroid injections are also used for more troublesome cases. It does come and go depending on the weather, etc. though.
