Suggest Treatment For Recurring Red Itchy Rash On Chest

I have a rash that comes and goes over the last 5 years. It always starts on my chest and in between my breast and is red and itches most of the time. I been to several dermatologist and tries all different kinds of Steroid, Fungal, hydro-cortisone, Lotrisone Steriod creams. Eventually after all the creams, antibiotics, steroid 7day Pack It does get better. But actually never really goes away. Its as if it lays dormant because I can still feel it on my skin but is not red or itching. It does sometime spread but mainly just on my chest. I have had 2 biopsy s that come back as self inflicted, which is because I have scratched them. Any suggestions?

hi,
thank you for putting up your query on HCM.
as per your query, you may have allergic contact dermatitis.
my treatment advise would be:
1. wear loose cotton clothes.
2. apply emollients like enmoist( white soft paraffin) twice daily.
3. you can take tab levocetrizine if there is itching.
4. you can apply topical corticosteroids only after consulting a dermatologist.
wishing you good health.
