Hi, i am having problems with rashes on my skin and it's been itchy for 2 months now. (They said i had PR and now my rash turns into some kind of irritation rash)

I've used many lotions but none of them help much. I am using steroids too but i don't want to use it much on my skin since I've been using it for 2 months also.

Then i see the Vaseline petroleum jelly on my shelf, I wonder if it will help if i apply it over lotion? Any experience of using it? Is it safe to use or will it irritate more?

Thank you for every answer.

Hi, my skin was very itchy and it had small pimples on my body. I thought it's some kind of yeast infection so I used Ketoconazole but it gets worse. Rashes came up all over my body except my neck, arms, calves, hands, feet and face.

I can't sleep due to itchiness. It was very bad. No Antihistamines can help me sleep at all.

The doctor said i got PR and gave me steroids along with Virus disinfectant / Bacteria disinfectant.

Also, I don't have any herald patches nor fever ..

It somehow better at first after met the docter but the process is really slow. Until now, it's 2 months and my skin is still having some new rashes came up time to time. During this period, There are periods when my symptoms improve and periods when the rash reappears. For example, this time a new rash has appeared on my sides and above my chest.

Now, my daily skincare is

\- Johnson shower cream PH5.5

\- Cerave lotion moisturizer

\- Physiogel Ai cream

\- Calamine

\- 0.1% steroids cream (i tried to avoid and use less because i've using Torpicorte (0.25% steroid for months now)

Now, my rash turns to be Maculopapular rash, Erythematous rash (i hope i explain this right)

My question is

1. Is it normal that PR will reappear during these times?

2. Please advise me if there's any tips / lotions-skincares / methods i should try to reduce rashes / itchiness (my itchy gets better. At least i can sleep at night but it's still there..)

I am very stress now because it doesn't seem to disappear anytime soon :( and i don't know what to do..

Thank you for every answers.

And i am so sorry if this is against any guidelines.
