What Causes Recurring Rash On Foot?

I have had a rash of some sort on my left foot only. My doctor been treating it with clotrimazole cream. Did not work. Then he prescribed me prednisone 10 mg. For 2 weeks. In 3 days rash cleared up no itching. I finished 10 day once a day 10 mg. Prednisone. After 3 days of finishing medication rash on foot came back. What may have caused this?

hi,waht your doctor prescribed u is worked very well,as u said your rash cleared up but u hav not taken full course of that steroid and also steroid withdrawl shoud be gradual like 2 times a day for first week,then once a day for next week,and then every alternative day for another 15 days.
i think this is the only possiblity that your rash on foot came back again after medication.Go to your doctor again n take help accordingly.
