Need help identifying rash!
Hi I’ve been getting this rash for the past 6 months it’s been continually getting worse, got told it was eczema but I don’t really feel like it is, used hydrocortisone and betnovate but doesn’t really help.
Get it on my stomach, arm pits, legs occasionally forehead and ankles.
Any help appreciated!
I saw your post and couldn't stop myself from asking, why are you asking for help here? Shouldn't you go to see a doctor in the first place?
This rush can be caused by anything starting from skin irritation to products like soap, detergents, soap powder, and even some skincare products if you use them.
Also, it can be a food allergy, which can mainly be caused by some fruits., we appreciate you joining the conversation!

I'm so sorry to hear about what you're going through. I can definitely relate to how concerning and annoying it is to deal with a mystery rash. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide medical advice, but we do write several articles on various first-hand experiences with various types of rashes on our website here.
Here is a good article to start with:
