In addition to what Scott mentioned, there are various anti-fungal creams that can be used to control the itching, if it is in fact fungal.  I once got a prescription for one called ketoconazole cream:

Another option, for non-fungal itching, is to use zinc oxide combined with an over the counter steroid cream that is for itching.  Like Cortizone 10:

Dermatologists typically scrape the skin in the area that is itching and can determine by microscopic analysis (in less than 30 seconds) whether it is fungal or not.

I have lately been plagued by small, red itchy patches of skin on my upper thighs.  These were determined to be non-fungal swaths of eczema.  The cause is unknown.
