Dear Tammy. I note your history & clinical findings as per your reports. Dermatology is a visual field & as such, it will be much appreciated if you could upload some photographs on this site using the upload data feature on the right side of your page. I suggest stopping the steroids & antihistamines for 2 weeks & then going in for a skin biopsy to get a definitive diagnosis. Please ensure the histopathology is cross-checked with an immunofluorescence study in addition for a better picture. Also, at the same time (2 was after quiescence) you may want to do a patch test to check for various allergens. Wish you a clear skin soon. Cheers!  Chat Doctor.
