I fought rash in center of my chest half the winter. Finally tried
some athlete's foot cream (clotrimazole) and it cleared up.

Saw a guy at the Y using ammonium lactate (for dry skin), prescription
strength, which he gets prescribed, gave me a small sample, I like it.
Haven't had any luck getting prescription, but it's on my amazon wish
list. I routinely use Cetaphil cream on my back.
