How Can Chest And Arm Lumps With Rashes And Irritation Be Treated?

Hi, Yesterday I depilated my arms, and chest area with Braun epilator and got itchy, red bumps. I use epilator often and I do get red bumps but they are never itchy and usually go away in couple hours. I used Aveeno afterwards, thinking it will help with irritation. The rash keeps getting worse and they spreaded on areas that I didn t epilate. They are not constantly itchy but often. Is there any over-the-counter lotion I can use? I ve been searching for a remedy online and read creams with cortisone will provide relief but might leave permanent marks on the skin. Is that true?
