A member asked:
I wonder why many doctors prescribe strong corticosteroids like betamethasonum or advantan when it cant heal any inflamed itchy rash that is spreading?

See a dermatologist: It sounds like you have a rash that is not going away despite repeated visits to your doctor? Ask your physician if an "autoimmune" condition could be the cause. A dermatologist or "skin doctor" may be of help. Sometimes it is necessary to get a second opinion.
