How do you get rid of a rash that won’t go away?

After exposure, wash the area with water to remove all traces of the irritant/allergen. Applying moisturizers will help the skin moisten and speed up the healing process. Your healthcare provider may prescribe creams or ointments to help. Corticosteroid pills are reserved for only the most severe cases.

What does it mean if a rash is spreading?

Sudden, spreading rashes can indicate an allergic reaction which, if accompanied by difficulty breathing, are extremely dangerous. If your rash blisters or develops open sores, or shows signs of infection, it’s important to get treatment as soon as possible. In short, see a doctor if you have a rash.

Do you need antibiotics for skin rash?
