Suggest Remedy For Persistent Red Itchy Rash On Arms, Legs And Back

Hi ive had a red itchy rash on my arms for over 2 weeks now which has spread to my legs, groin, neck, backs of legs and back. It flares up when i start getting warm. Ive tried 3 sets of antihistamines to no avail, and now on steroid cream which does relieve the itch for a little bit but obv cant stay on this more than 7 days. The doctors said they dont know what it is so am being referred to dermatology. Any ideas?

For persistant red itchy rash on arms, legs and back you have to take some antibiotic like cap ampoxin 500 mg three times daily or tab droxyl 500 mg twice daily after meals with tab avil three times daily or tab cetrizine twice daily after meals for itching with tab rantac or tab famotid twice daily empty stomach. Also you have to use clop-g or ketoconazole cream for local application. Maintain hygiene of your body specially groin and axillary region.
