What Does A Red Itchy Rash On The Stomach And Upper Back Indicate?

I have red itchy bumpy rash on my stomach, upper back, and elbow . I cannot figure out the cause. I have taken antihistamine for 2 days and rubbing hydrocortisone . I am not seeing improvement. Can I continue and how long should i take this before seeing a doctor if i don t see improvement.

It can be due to some fungal infection or allergy for which you take antibiotics like cefadroxyl or zifi-cv after an expert opinion along with cetrizine or Avil for itching or rashes. Apply betnovate-c or clobit-gm cream locally on the affected area. You can take steroids if not improved with above treatment.
