Suggest Treatment For Red Blotches On The Chest And Abdomen

I have an area with red blotches on my chest and my stomach around my waist and goes up my sides. They range in size from about the size of a quarter to the size of a pea and there is no blisters and they don t itch. I went to the dr. two weeks ago and they did a test which was negative for fungal and I was told to use a steroid cream and see if that helps. I have tried many things along with the steroid cream but nothing seems to make it go away. Is there something else to try or should I go back in and have it re checked? I am on a limited budget so I don t want to keep visiting the clinic if at all possible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It can be due to some allergy for which you can take antibiotics like cefadroxyl or zifi-cv after an expert opinion along with cetrizine or Avil for red blotches. Apply betnovate-c or valnearte-n cream locally over the affected area. You can take steroids if not improved with the above treatment.
