Welcome dear!

Thanks for consulting me at virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
You have not specified the place of rash at body, any features and shape of rash??
With that limited data I will recommend you to start Permethrine as you have visited a physicain and after examination he has prescribed that. Have you started permethrine?

If however it doesn't help apply Clotrimazole/Betamethsone combination Cream (hydrozole). It may need prescription. If you cant arrange a prescription go for Over the counter Lotrimin cream. Hydrozole is more appropriate if this is really contact dermatitis as your previous doctor told you.
 

If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile. You can also attach Lab reports and pictures with direct question.

May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback and five star rating, to help me assist you in a better way. Click at 'I Find This Answer Helpful.' Please, write a review about your experience with me.
 

Regards!
