Skin Rash, Eczema, Itchiness. Tried Several Ointments. Problem?

I have a skin allergy that looks like a rash at the beginning and then flares up like eczema within few hours with an unbeleivable itchiness. It's been going on for a year now, tried all kind of moisturizers, antihistamines, my gp prescribed hydrocortisone, it works but the flareup shows up again after few days! Been to my new gp yesterday, and she said it could be fungal, so she gave me Daktacort cream, i've used it 3 times now, and whenever i use it my face goes red and burn straight away and then i see tiny splits of the skin in the corner of my lips and eyes. It's on my face, on my hairline and also a patch of it on my back. My skin is very dry that it looks wrinkly, every moisturiser would sting even water or olive oil would sting. It feels like i'm wearing a mask of a second skin that feels leathery, red, and very itchy. I don't know what to do, please help me.
Thank you ever so much!

Hi! I think the rashes are due to some Allergy. I can suggest ask your GP to prescribe some Deworming medicine and then try the Antihistamines along with probably a Glycerine based soap and try to use more of cotton clothes. You can use Aloe vera based Moisturizers and try to apply Sandal wood paste to the raw surfaces if any. Let me know after a weeks time how you feel. Thanks.
