I saw my family doctor about 8 weeks ago because I had a mild rash on my arms above the elbow , in addition to one on both ankles. He gave me a cream to use, triamcinolone acetonide . So far, it hasn t made a lot of difference. Then, just in the last three weeks, I developed a raised, leathery red rash on my lower back and buttocks . None of this really itches other than occasionally on my legs. I normally have an itchy dry rash in the winter months when the humidity is low. I think my doctor thought this was dermatitis .
Hello welcome to Chat Doctor forum thank you for your query it looks like atomic dermatitis or edematous dermatitis. Triamcinolone is sometimes not effective, so we have to go for higher one in severe case oral steroid also given by the doctor.apply good moisturizer lotion over the body .use warm water to bathe and wear cotton cloths Chat Doctor. Better to consult dermatologist if it not improves I hope I answered your question
