I have a terribly itchy red rash that moves around my mid body but mostly on my stomach. It started about 3 weeks ago, worsening gradually. The doc put me on prednisone for 8 days. It gradually stopped itching about the 3rd day. By the end of the treatment it stopped completely but there were still a few slightly reddish areas. Three days after ending the prenisone the rash and itching came back. For 2 days now the itching has been so intense and the doc suggested I try Zyrtec and benadryl. No relief yet. I cannot think of any new products or lotions that could be causing this.
