In the chest area a cream is more comfortable especially
where there is clothing friction. Triamcinolone in the lower potency cream can help. Other options to try in yeast prone areas are Zeasorb powder and a mild zinc
pyrithione soap in the shower. Ketoconazole cream is worth a trial.For severe flares your
dermatologist could try betamethasone with clotrimazole cream short term bursts to avoid thinning of the skin in delicate areas. Hydrocortisone lotion is
available over the counter avoid the solution that is alcohol based that can be irritating.

I’m curious about your suggestion of Ketoconazole cream. Was it helpful for you (or anyone reading this)? My dr. Prescribed ketonazole shampoo for my itchy head. She insists that it’s unrelated to my other rash which she says is Grovers. The shampoo immediately helped my head. One use and I felt significant relief from my itchy scalp. I disagree with my dr. And feel sure that my itchy head IS related to my insanely itchy rash which is on my arms, one shoulder, and a patch on my back. I tried putting the shampoo on my body rash. I would leave it on for 5 min before rinsing. I didn’t have the same definitive results. But the shampoo wasn't meant for the body. Perhaps ketonazole cream would help. If so, do I have a fungal infection?
