What Causes Rashes On The Shoulders, Back And Chest?
I have a rash (specific spots on my shoulders, back, and chest) that first showed up after getting into poison sumac 5 years ago during the summer. I have tried many different creams all to no avail. I rub against every door post I can find for temporary relief. The areas sometimes get blooding from my scratching. I have seen a Dermatologist here in Dallas and tried the cream prescribed but have gotten no relief. RSD Help.

Hello,
It could be due to an allergic reaction. As a first line management, you can take antihistamines like pheniramine or Cetirizine for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
