Hello,

Itchy rash after a holiday is commonly due skin irritation such as sunburn or rashes from poison ivy or allergy. Spots appear anywhere on the skin, may be scaly or itchy. They often flare up in warm weather & get better in cooler climates.

Wash all your clothes & bed sheets in hot water & savlon. Take regular bath, keep your skin clean. Dry your skin & apply 1% hydrocortisone cream.

Pramoxine cream also helps relieve itchy rashes. Take non sedating antihistamines & analgesics, it is effective.

Do not share your toiletries. Do not scratch. Do not keep your skin too dry apply a thin layer of calamine lotion. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K
