The Painful Itchy Rashes Drive Me Crazy To Know End. My Skin Is Taking A Beating And My Doctor Just Gives Me Creams That Dosen't Help.

I am detectable for the past 14 years and but dealing with rashes for 10 years so my skin is permanently damaged. So no shorts or tank tops in the summer. Anyone else is dealing with this symptom?
