Itching around the belt area for 8 years despite using Candid B cream suggests that the underlying cause may need further evaluation, as prolonged symptoms require a thorough check.

🩺 What This Likely Means

Persistent itching could be due to a chronic fungal infection not fully responding to treatment, a different skin condition like eczema or psoriasis, or irritation from other causes such as allergies or contact dermatitis.

🩺 Recommended Next Steps

• See a dermatologist for a detailed skin examination and possibly skin scrapings or tests to identify the exact cause.
• Avoid prolonged use of steroid-containing creams like Candid B without medical supervision, as they can sometimes worsen certain conditions or cause side effects.
• Maintain good hygiene, keep the area dry, and avoid irritants such as harsh soaps or tight clothing.

⚠️ When to Seek Urgent Care

• If you notice worsening redness, swelling, pain, or signs of infection like pus.
• If the itching severely disrupts sleep or daily activities.
• If you develop new symptoms such as fever or spreading rash.
