Hello,
Thank you for your help... I am going to see my dermatolgist in a week, so we will see what I am told... I can not take anything in the ibuprofen family again because of this reaction.. Only Tylonal and benadryl for the time being. Is there anything that may help the skin get stronger and thicker?? I understand calamine and corticosteriod cream will help relieve the discomfort, but I was also looking for something that will make the skin thicker and stronger so the infected area can become more durable.. Again, thanks so much for getting back to me.
Hello,
For these rashes, do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. Also wear cotton undergarments and take some antihistaminic like Benadryl. Application of mild corticosteroid cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful. If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a dermatologist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
