What Causes Itchy Rashes On The Face And Neck Despite Using Hydrocortisone?

I have this itchy rashes on my face and neck for about a month now. Already take ceterizine for 2 weeks and i already consumed 1 tube of hyrdocortisone cream still itchy rashes there. Now, my doctor told me to take celestamine and calmoseptine cream. I dont know if its effective. I only started yesterday. Should i consult an allergist doctor o a dermatologist? Please help. Its affected my day to day activities.

Hi.
As per your case history of itching on face and neck, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen lotion with spf more than 30.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-b cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral steroid like prednisone or betamethasone taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
