Suggest Treatment For Itching And Red Rash On Chest,scalp And Nose
I have had a rash for almost 2 months now. It started with a small area on my back and moved to the right side of my chest. Now it is on both sides of my chest, scalp, hairline, sides of nose and temples. It is red, raised and did weep for a bit. Now it burns and itches. Treatments have included Neosporin, Cortaid, keflex, steroid cream, which made it spread, prednisone pack which it was clearing with that but when it was done it came back and an inconclusive skin biopsy. The only thing I have done that is different from normal was have a breast biopsy with an implanted clip. Please help me as I am miserable

Hi,
It may be ringworm infection most probably ... Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to take antifungal cap like itraconazole 100 mg with antihistaminics like levocetirizine 5 mg daily for few weeks. Apply antifungal cream on the patches. Avoid soap bath.
Hope this helps.
