What Causes Rashes On The Back And Stomach?

My husband has a rash all over his back and less so on his stomach area. He has been to two urgent care centers and he received a short duration of prednisone to no avail. All his blood work came back as normal. We tried OTC hydrocortisone cream which had no effect. he is not on any medications and is 82 years of age and in excellent health. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Hello,

You can take antihistamines like pheniramine and oral steroids. Generally, it will settle by a couple of days. If persists you can consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
