Sure: You can try it, but if the rash doesn't go away see your physician as its unclear what it is just based on the fact that there is a rash and itch.

See doctor: and get it diagnosed. Treatment is based on diagnosis.

General rash: The rash you describe us likely due to a fungus assuming it is not related to a STD. Elica cream is not the best therapy. An antifungal prep like Monistat may help or you may need a prescription like Mycolog. Keep the area dry in the future to prevent this issue. Applying baby powder daily often helps.

No: This is a potent topical corticosteroid cream. The pubic area is a sensitive area and I would avoid using a cream this potent as you can have significant side effects like skin atrophy, prominent blood vessels, and stretch marks if you don't have a pathology in that area that requires this. Please consider seeing a dermatologist for a diagnosis and treatment options. Best of luck.
