<s>[INST] I have a recurring rash (usually twice a year for the past three years) that starts in my groin and goes to my underarms, waistband, buttocks, and somewhat on my legs. Small red bumps that are very itchy and uncomfortable. Trying cortisone cream and jock itch spray with minimal results. [/INST] Hi. Thanks for the query. Recurring rash over the body with red bumps and itching can be most probably due to allergic reaction. There can be a number of allergens like any food or medication, soaps, detergents, leather, latex, poison ivy etc. For confirmation of the cause you should consult an Allergist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like allergic tests like Patch test, LAST test, food challenge test etc. can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly. As of now you can take anti-allergics like Levocetrizine, Allegra to control the itching spread of rash. Do cool compresses. Application of calamine lotion or Call Chat Doctor. . Topical steroid ointments can be applied but for a short duration, like for a week to 10 days and then discontinued or can be continued only under expert supervision. In extreme cases a Steroid injection can help in faster relief. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. </s>
