“Itchy rash ”
Noticed a rash on my forehead over the weekend that has since gone away but it has spread to forearms, chest, ankles, legs and genitalia. Not on any medication. Using hydrocortisone cream doesn’t seem to help.

An itchy rash that spreads over several body parts could be an allergic reaction, infection, or skin condition.
Possible Causes:
Allergic reaction – Contact with new soaps, lotions, or fabrics.
Viral or bacterial infection – Some rashes spread over time.
Fungal infection – Can cause itchy patches on multiple areas.
Eczema or dermatitis – Can flare up and spread.
What to Do:
Avoid scratching to prevent infection.
Use a gentle moisturizer to soothe the skin.
Try antihistamines if you suspect an allergy.
See a doctor if the rash keeps spreading, worsens, or blisters.
Since hydrocortisone isn't helping, book a consultation at Irvine Skin for proper diagnosis and treatment.
