Try this: Try an antihistamine like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) along with a hydro cortisone cream used topically. If it doesn't get better, you should see your dermatologist . Also, itchy skin can sometimes be a sign of early menopause. Visit www.Doctorscotts.Com for more information.

Derm eval: This rash needs to be visualized & a history needs to be obtained in order to make an accurate diagnosis. Sometimes lab testing or biopsy is necessary.
