Hi,
I would recommend conforming your diagnosis.Scaly rashes can be caused by autoimmune diseases like psoriasis,fungal infections, pityriasis rosea. Biopsy or scraping of skin should be examined to identify the diagnosis. Continue with topical cortico-steroid and further treatment is based on the test results.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
