Rash On Neck During Cold Seasons. Applying Cortisone Cream Helps. Solution?

Hi. When the seasons change and get cooler, I always get a really weird patchy rash on my neck . It is sometimes itchy, and comes and goes. To make it go away, i have found that only a cortisone cream somewhat helps. Some days it is way worse than others and looks terrible. Then, strangely, the next day it will be gone. Help!!

rash during winter with itching suggests eczema or psoriasis..since u said it reduces on application of topical steroids u may use it during exacerbations..but i would also like to tell you that steroids have associated side effects like thinning of skin , flaring up of fungal infections..so its better u consult a dermatologist at your place..
