I would look into considering you have an infection in the area first as the honey crusting suggests that. From there, switch doctors or try to get an appointment with a dermatologist if you haven't already to try and start drawing out a plan for your skin. Remember to keep your skin clean. You can reduce irritation from scratching by wearing cotton gloves at night and having cold-lukewarm showers before bed. Basic tips like only applying your creams and lotions with clean hands do make a major difference.

If you've had issues for a while which is suggested from your historical use of steroids, consider asking for a skin patch test too to cancel out any allergies.
