Brief Answer:
Eczema, clobetasol cream, moisturising cream and antihistaminic
Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it seems to be eczema.
Eczema is a chronic disease which has a tendency to recur.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to continue with clobetasol propionate cream on the rash twice daily along with frequent and liberal application of a moisturising cream containing white soft paraffin on the entire arm 2-3 times in a day.
Also take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg twice daily for 2 weeks.
These measures should help in resolving the rash.
