As usual,no joy from doctors..I have a rash

[ganesh]

I have a rash all over but mainly on my chest and tummy. It is very itchy and looks a bit like eczema (which I had as a young child)but it isn't flaky. I am now 53 and although I know I have sensitive skin and avoid the usual perfumed products etc,my skin has been fine all this time.
The doctors,I've seen 2,think it is an allergy and I have been prescribed anti-histamines and a fucidin (hydro-cortisone) cream. I have now had it for 2 months and it is just as bad as when it started. They don't know what is is.
Anyone know of a miracle cream or had something similar.?

I've been having problems with a rash too, only up the back of one arm and across a bit of my back though. It went really bad then eased a little after trying hydrocortisone cream but keeps flaring back up.

A colleague suggested switching from biological to non-biological washing powder as she reckons that could help so am giving that a go if it's worth trying for you too?

This was my original thread...

Thanks but as I had an early history of eczema I have always been careful and I only ever use non-bio stuff and unfragranced cream etc. Nothing has changed really apart from me!
My rash isn't bright red and scaly-like yours Jenna,is yours any better yet?
It's very flat ,pale red and blotchy and sometimes looks like i,m wearing a pink blanket!
