How Can Itchy Rashes On The Neck And Scalp Be Treated?

I have had a rash on my neck and in my scalp for several months. My Dr. prescribed Spironolactone 1 pill taken twice daily and to apply Clobetasol solution 1 or twice daily. The area has not improved and new bumps have appeared. They do not hurt, but they often itch....Do you have any suggestion...I don t have the time to take off work...Please advise
