Initially I was told it was scabies applied the prescribed medication and skin rash appeared to have disappear with the exception of my right leg. When to dermatalogist and was told it was eczema.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Since your skin rash is not responding to steroid cream so may be ,
1 Exfoliative dermatitis , diagnosis can be confirmed by biopsy of effected parts an d consult another dermatologist and get his opinion .
2 Psoriasis so for this you have to consult a dermatologist and get his opinion as physical examination is very important in this type of cases.
3 Eczema , dermatologist will help in this case .
Since disease is from long time and not responding to ordinary treatment ( as steroid) so for diagnosis confirmation biopsy is very important , so get it and consult dermatologist. Good luck. Dr. HET
