What Is The Treatment For Itchy Rash On Outer Thigh?

I have a rash on my outer thighs that becomes very itchy during the night. I put lotion on that helped for a few nights than it stopped working. I went to a dermatologist with the VA and they gave me some ointment to put on it. That worked for a few days and now has stopped.
