What Causes Frequent Skin Allergies Despite Taking Steroids?

I have a lot of underlying skin issues and no one can seem to find out what is really wrong with, I ve so many topical steroid creams that would suppress the issue for 2 weeks, changing soaps, detergents, to using white washcloths, everything unscented nothing works. Nothing was ever given to me to take by mouth, I really think that s the problem no antibiotics give, I had blood tests to rule out lupus, allergy test that was very high in numbers, so now I take shots 2-3 times a week, montelukast, my skin is still flaring up from my head to my toes, can somebody please give me the right diagnosis, which I believe it s a bacterial infection through out my body. This all started in April of 2016, and I am still suffering with this, please help!!!

General & Family Physician 's  Response
steroids are not the prevention for any allergy.they reduce the allergic effects. but they dont cure it. you have to find the allergen and stay away from it. if docs haven't given antibiotics, you probably dont need them. kindly share your total leucocyte count..any complaint of itching rash etc
