Itchy Soles Of Feet At Night, Red Spots On Skin, Taking Prednisone, Cortisone Ineffective

The soles of my feet (heels & toes) & palms, mostly my feet, itch terribly especially at night. I ve noticed red spots on my feet & hands then recently on my arms, legs, back & stomach. Ive taken bendrhyll with little relief. I m on a 40 dosage of prednisone for the last 6 days, but the itchy episodes still come several times daily. Cortisone creams are no relief & I m waiting for lab blood work related to allergies. I don t know what to avoid! This is driving me insane!

I THINK IT TO BE FUNGAL NOT ALLERGY AND CORTISONE TRIGGERS IT
CAN TAKE ANTIFUNGAL FLUCONAZOLE 150 MG ONCE A WEEK FOR 4-6 WEEK
TAKE ANTIALLERGIC EBASTINE 10 MG BD
TAB CPM NIGHT
ADD ANTACID GEL TDS
APPLY ANTIFUNGAL OINTMENT CREAMS AND POWDERS ON AFFECTED PARTS
KEEP DRY AND SWEAT FREE
ANTIALLERGIC TO BE TAKEN FOR 3 WK
AND OTHERS CAN CONTINUE FOR 4-6 WK AS IT IS TOUGH TO REMOVE FUNGUS EASILY FROM BODY
