What Causes Outbreak Of Rashes All Over The Body?

have been to multiple dermatologists, physicians, and now an allergist and nobody seems to be able to help me. I have been having an issue with a rash for almost 5 years now that is getting worse. It started as a red area on my chest that was there for 6 months to a year. It burned and itched extremely badly. When it eventually left my skin was no longer red but it was very wrinkled. Before this red rash I never had wrinkled skin, and I was only 19 at the time. Now everytime I get this red rash in get it somewhere new and always have wrinkles when it leaves. They are now on my neck, chest, arms, and stomach. Please help.

rashes all over body which itches and burns. appears to be allergicdermatosis. but considering the duration and attempt to treat it so that it is chronic and resistant to treatment. with this background and duration it appears to be autoimmune disorder. complete general examination of body and blood test is to be done. detail history of treatment will be helpful for diagnosis. little idea i can make is psoriasis. give complete history and investigation result. till such time start applying pregmatar ointment. no other medication.
