Hi,
Apply over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to the affected area if the rash is very itchy and causing discomfort. Calamine lotion can also help relieve rashes from chickenpox, poison ivy, or poison oak. Take an oatmeal bath. This can soothe the itchiness associated with rashes from eczema or psoriasis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Monish De, Oncologist
