by petes190, Oct 28, 2009 08:07PM
I have a rash on my arms, legs back and legs for over two months. i visited the doctor and he gave me steroids to take for a three week course, it helped for the first week but then it came back even worse. what can be causing this rash? And how to get rid of it?

Hi,
How are you? Skin rash could be caused by an irritation, allergic reaction or skin conditions such as dermatitis or eczema. If the steroid medication made it worse, discontinue it and inform your doctor about this. Other medications may be used. Have this checked by a skin specialist for proper evaluation. Take  care and do keep us posted.
