I had that problem once i had my daughter dry scaly skin that just peals off if your rub it..and it itched pretty bad...well i went to the doctor and she prescribed an antifungal cream and when that didnt work (probably because of the panties..and my big legs) she prescribed oral antifungal meds and those helped very much.you might want to event try jock itch powder or even gold bond for the feet..yep my doc told me to try these since they're anifungal. its very annoying especially if it keeps coming back. you might want to be careful w/the oral antifungal meds since they can be hard on your liver..but 30 day treatment should be good.
