How To Get Rid Of The Rash That Spreads Across My Chest And Shoulder?

About a year ago i got a rash that spread across my chest. It took months to get a doctor to look at it and get it to go away. they prescribed antibiotic, i dont remember the name.. but i remember researching it and finding out it was seldom used any more, and was once used to treat agent orange?! it was sulfur based?? because they asked about allergies. it worked, i am nowhere around the doc in the box that got it right and i have no insurance. i dont want to go to countless appts that are 100 bucks or more. is it possible to get help on line?? it has barely spred across my shoulder, so far and i dont want to wait, last time it covered more than hlf my chest

Dermatologist 's  Response
If you have history of excessive sweating ,with lots of hair in the chest region probably it could be a fungal infection.I would advise treatment with topical nizoral and oral fluconazole 400mg stat.
