Hi, I have a persistent localized and Dime-Sized rash along my T-4 spine area; it used to appear in the winter, now year round. It itches and flares up at night and morning. I ve used topical, OTC and Rx ointments and lotions, yet, persists. What causes it and is there treatment? RXs, Include- Lotrimin;Aquaphor; Desitin; Lamisil; EpiCeram and DESONIDE LOTION 0.05%. Can you help? Thanks, Lance
Hi, Perhaps it is a patch of eczema. The low humidity in winters Chat Doctor.  I suggest you to use a moisturizer regularly in that area.  In addition, I suggest you to apply a moderately potent topical steroid, e.g., either mometasone furnace 0.1% cream or triamcinolone acetone 0.1% cream, twice daily. In addition, I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine, e.g., Tablet Cetirizine once a day for symptomatic relief from itching.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
