How Can Itchy Red Rashes On The Waist, Back And Forehead Be Treated?

I have a red itchy rash that started on my waistline, has gone up my back, into my hair and, now has reached my forehead. I am trying desperately not to scratch it but, it s keeping my up at night. I need advice on what to do about it. I get advice from everybody as to what steps I should take but, I need a physicians opinion.
