How To Treat Burning Sensation On My Dry Skin After A Spider Bite?

in september I was bit by a black widow spider on my lower left leg. I have since gone through 3 rounds of antibiotics and 3 rounds of uptick doses of prednisone. Now my lower leg from the midcalf to my ankle has rash and an almost elephant skin feel to it, if I use a skin conditioner, it burns on contact. And if I don t, I encounter the burning sensation of standing in a Fire Ant pit
