A member asked:

Why is my severe rash after keeps spreading, even after starting prednisone and prescription creams?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exam needed: Impossible to give an accurate DX of a "rash" without a visual exam. If the current treatment is not effective, then a re-exam and other therapy is needed. Call and get the apt for exam
