My Dear

Welcome to Healthcaremagic!
I have noted your details and concerns.

I understand your difficulty and would like to suggest you some measures with the recovery in the long run as my objective. You seem to have a picture that is modified due to the use of steroids. Kindly do not start them if you have finished off taking them and also that if you are still on steroids, then taper them off to reach state where you are not consuming any.
The itching should be controlled by anti allergic and soothing preparations as far as possible. systemic steroids are not first line of defence.

Cetrizine is a good choice and along with that you can apply crotorax HC cream as these work very well in such situations. I will be awaiting your progress to guide you further.
best wishes
