The cream you are using contains a strong steroid. While it temporarily calms itching, using it long-term in thin-skin areas like the underarms causes a rebound effect, making the itch return when stopped. It can also worsen underlying fungal infections. To resolve this permanently, you should stop using this cream. Keep the underarms clean and dry, and try a plain topical antifungal cream, such as clotrimazole. Because you have used a steroid cream for three months, your skin may have become dependent on it. Please consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and a safe plan to taper off the steroid and heal your skin.
