So i have had this rash for around 3/4 months. Started small, progressively got drier and redder. I used to have eczema as a child & it runs in the family so my first solution was cetraben / hydrocortisone if i needed a stronger emollient. Used both and they helped with the dryness but never with the rash itself. I then eventually rung the GP and she prescribed me Daktort as she thought it was a fungal infection. Used this for 14 nights 2 times a day & this also offered no resolution. Doctor has advised me to visit when restrictions have eased but im on here wondering if anyone knows what this could be. The photos are from forearm & my lower leg imageimageimage
