Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic

I can't comment on what the rashes were exactly without having a look at them but excessive use of steroids can precipitate infection like staphylococcal infection in your case.

You can go culture and antibiotic sensitivity of any material coming out from those lesions so that only those antibiotics are taken by you which will have an effect on the bacteria.

This will help you in getting rid of the infection.

You can upload the reports which have been done already so that I can comment further about them in details.
