What Causes Itchy And Burning Rash On The Chest, Arms And Stomach?

I have had a skin rash for several months. My doctor has given me Prednisone to clear it up and that seems to work for a week or so. The rash is on my chest, arms, belly, and legs. Is very itchy and burns at times. Heat and sweating seem to make it worse.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to heat rash.

I suggest using hydrocortisone cream for local application.

I also recommend using Cetirizine to relieve the itching.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
