Itching with ringworm on the hip and between the thighs is usually a fungal infection, and in such cases Candid B cream is often not effective because it contains a steroid that can temporarily reduce itching but may allow the fungus to spread or come back stronger. This is why the infection may not be improving. The area needs proper antifungal treatment along with keeping the skin clean, dry, and free from friction, especially in sweat-prone regions. Wearing loose cotton underwear, changing clothes after sweating, and avoiding sharing towels can help prevent worsening or spreading. Since it is in the groin area, treatment sometimes needs to be continued for a few weeks even after symptoms improve to prevent recurrence. A doctor can examine the rash and decide the right antifungal medicine and duration based on severity. You should avoid self-mixing creams. Seek medical advice if the rash is spreading, very itchy, painful, or not improving despite proper antifungal care.
