Have Rash All Over Legs. Using Triamcinolone And RetinaA Gel. Do I Need Laser Treatment?

I have a rash on both lower legs. It began 4 years ago with a solitary red mark in the middle of my lower leg. I thought it was the result of "dry shaving" my legs. I have been to two dermatologists, after having 3 biopsys all showing eczema (disputed x2) I have been being treated continuously over this 4-year period. Presently I am using triamcinolone and RetinA gel. My legs today are a mess. Today, it has been very warm, I have a fine red rash over both legs as well as the other marks and red areas from previously failed treatments. I also have two holes where the biopsies were done. Both doctors are board certified dermatologists. I need new thoughts on this. Would I be a candidate for laser treatment. I am now very self conscious of the appearance of my legs. they are a real mess.
