Today was my third trip to a doctor. One in Pa. And 2 in the state where I live va. Since February 2003 I have been suffering from a rash that began like poison ivy. It started as a small patch on the front of my leg. Since I had it about 6 mo. Before I figured I used the same treatment... Wash in dish detergent, use calamine, take benedril or allergy medicine for the itch. My own treatment didn't work. The rash (which still look like a bad case of poison ivy stays only on my leg, but has spread up my leg to the knee both front and right side. I've had 2% anti-fungil medication perscribed, as well as hydrocortizone, lanacane, augmentem. I am now on the aumentem and using anti-fungal medication for these last two weeks. Nothing has helped. Please help.
