Question : I have a rash over 90% of my body. I have been through two rounds of oral steroids and used steroid cream. The rash continues to worsen and the itching is literally driving me crazy. The dermatologist said it was a contact allergy. I've changed laundry detergents, but to no avail. Are there any other illnesses that a rash is a symptom of?
