Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
It seems you are having licenoid dermatitis.
It is allergic reaction pattern of skin.
Such kind of allergy can be induced by sun exposure,Sweating,soaps etc.
Wearing tight shirts can also irritate the skin and produce such type of rash.
Use loose cotton shirts.Avoid sun exposure as far as possible.
Do not apply soap.Wash only with cold water.
Cream which you are applying contains neosporin and it can also aggravate the allergy.
You need a more potent steroid cream like tenovate.Apply it two times daily.You also need to take oral antihistaminics like tab.allegra 180 mg,once daily.
Try these measures for 4 to 5 days but if rash does not subside then you have to take oral steroids.It is always advisable to take these drugs under the consultation of a dermatologist.
Hope this will help you.In case you have any concerns i will be happy to help you.
Take care.
