Persistent Rash On Face. Tried Steroid Cream. No Change. Cure?

I have a persistent rash on my face (Chin) and have had it for more than a month. Have tried anti-allergenic facial cleanser and moisturiser, and light topical steriod cream from the pharmacy, but it will not clear up. Just as it starts to disappear, during the next day it starts to get sore and itchy again. I'm really now using nothing except "Lucas Paw Paw" balm which did clear most of the rash up for a short while.
