I have been to my internist & a dermatologist and have been given various creams which don't help much. They don't seem to know what the problem is. HELP!

Hi Anon

Thanks for your post.

I will assume an STD has been ruled out, as well as a skin infection?

Do you have any other symptoms at all? Some auto-immune conditions cause rashes, like Lupus.

Do you play sports? Heavy sweating can cause rashes around the hip, belly or groin area.

I'd like you to take a look at our skin rash page where there are lots of options as to what may be happening. Will you take a look and let us know if you see something that might be of interest to you?
