How Can Itchy Rashes On The Body Be Treated?

I have a history of eczema, psoriasis, allergies and now have lichen planus. I live in a rural community and seeing a specialist requires a 2-3 hrs travel. My primary Dr. has tried several different meds to help alleviate my discomfort but nothing has helped. I have constant itchiness and the rashes are still developing after 13 months. Is there anything else I can do besides corticosteroids?
