What Causes Red Patchy Rashes On Skin?
Presented with a red patchy type rash one week ago. I have used topical steroids ( topicort) and was on a methylprednisolone pack for almost 6 days. Not that much better. Funny thing is....its I my presenting on my left side......and now has spread to my left flank and left lateral neck. I am a little nervous cause ,I had a melanoma on my left arm. I have a lymphedectomy due to the positive sentinel node. Very weird. Your thoughts?

Hello,
It is usually not advisable to initiate topical steroid without confirming the diagnosis by a Dermatologist. As the condition is unilateral, it could be due to an infective condition. I would suggest you to visit your Dermatologist to clarify the problem.
