Suggest Treatment For Recurring Rash

I ve had a reoccurring rash on my upper right rib area. It comes and goes in stages. It starts out almost the exact color as my skin and can barely be made out but every couple of months it becomes red and raised for about a week or two, but it never fully goes away. They are in random geometrical shapes and when raised the skin is slightly rough.
