Suggest Remedy For Rashes On Chest Area

i have a rash on my lateral chest area, which has been present for quite a while. I went to my md and he suggested to apply a mixture of lamisil and cortosone, and apply baby powder after showering, but it is still present. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.
