Rashes On Backs And Chest. Steroid To Use On Rashes. What Is The Relationship?
About 2 months ago I got a red itcy rash over parts of my back and chest . The about 2 weeks ago my salivary gland swool up. I usually have a swollen gland at least twice per year and my doctor gives me antibodics and the infection goes away. At that time he gave me a steriod to use on my rash, but I feel like when it clears from one part of my body it then appears in a different place. Could these two things be related?

Hilsometimes rash on the chest and back in pityriasis rosea is preceded by staphylococcal infection like cold and cough.it is presented as herald patches ie erythematous annular lesions with peripheral scalling all are of same size but one of them is bigger which is called mother patch.
It can be cured by atarax 25 mg at night.antibiotic like althrocin 500 mg thrice daily and application of calamine lotion at day time and application of flutivate ointment in the night can cure it
