Summary
A Reddit user with relapsing polychondritis reported a red, painful, angry rash that lasted all summer. They blamed their autoimmune disease but wondered whether long COVID was responsible. Triamcinolone was not strong enough; clobetasol from a dermatologist worked, and topical steroids applied in cotton gloves helped.
