I have a rash that only appears around my midsection.  The skin has raised pimple like bumps that sometimes are almost like whiteheads.  The whole area is very itchy.  The rash comes and goes.  I have been experiencing this for nearly a year.  I thought it was an allergic reaction to the buttons/snaps of my pants and coated them with clear nail polish.  Didn't work.  I have tried antifungal creams, cortisone creams and collidal oatmeal.  What else can I possibly try?  What could it be.  My physician is at a loss.  Please help.  The rash does not spread anywhere else.  I have no other symptoms or added stress when the rash appears.  It appears with out warning.  Thank you for any help you may have to offer.

Try sensitive skin lotion, lubriderm. Rub it on that spot 3 times a day, also get some hydrocortisone creame and use them together. If you do that daily for a few weeks, and keep the area clean you should be fine.

Hi,
I think it could be Irritant Contact Dermatitis.
I think anti-histamine orally and local Hydrocortisone cream should help.
Hope this helps.
Bye.
