What are the diagnostic considerations and management options for persistent pruritus following the clinical resolution of chronic tinea corporis and cruris that was treated with oral itraconazole?
It is very common to experience lingering itchiness even after the fungal infection has cleared with itraconazole. This often happens because your skin is still healing and may be dry, sensitive, or slightly inflamed. Sometimes, it can also be a mild reaction to creams you used. To help soothe your skin, try using gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers and avoid harsh soaps. Keeping the area cool and dry is also helpful. Please consult your doctor; they may suggest a mild corticosteroid cream or an antihistamine to give you some relief while your skin fully recovers.
