Developed Red Rashes All Over Body. Prescribed Dakacort And Hydrocortisone For Eczema. Thoughts?

Thanks for posting your query.
I will be glad to be of assistance.
The rash that you mentioned if is eczema, application of hydrocortisone may not be adequate to treat it. Hydrocortisone cream is a very mild steroid cream. It would be better to use a prescription strength steroid cream like mometasone cream which would work better and will be more effective.
You mentioned that the lesions look like ringworm, if that's the case then application of only the daktacort cream alone will be effective.
However it would be helpful if you can give me a few more details regarding the rash that would help me understand whether its an eczema or ringworm. I would like a few details regarding shape, size, colour, whether grouped together, whether rash consists of boils etc; these details of the rash.
Regards.
