If your rash is not improving with clotrimazole, it may be a more stubborn or resistant fungal infection, or sometimes due to previous use of steroid-containing creams, which can make the infection harder to treat. In such cases, a stronger antifungal cream like terbinafine or luliconazole, used regularly for a sufficient duration, may be needed. Since your itching is persistent and worse at night, it is best to consult a doctor, who can confirm the diagnosis and prescribe the right treatment, including oral medicines if required, to clear it completely.
