How Can severe Itchy Rashes On The Chest And Shoulders Be Treated?

I have an itchy rash over about half my body. Arms, chest, shoulders, trunk, hips, upper legs, and behind my knees. I went to my dermatologist last week and he said it was excema and gave me an ointment. It s not helping at all, and I m not sure the diagnosis was accurate. I looked it up online, and it doesn t really seem to fit. To make matters worse, I am in menopause and have hot flashes where my whole body sweats, then it s very uncomfortable because the sweat makes my skin sting like needles. I am really uncomfortable, and the itching is keeping me up at night
