If itching persists despite your current treatment, it may indicate that your regimen is insufficient or that another underlying factor is contributing. Consult your doctor, who may adjust your medication, prescribe a stronger topical steroid, or recommend antihistamines or alternative therapies. Continue gentle skin care, avoid scratching, and keep your skin moisturised to reduce irritation and prevent infection.
