How are rashes treated?

The best treatment for your rash depends on what’s causing it. The experts at Adult and Pediatric Dermatology can recommend:
Home remedies
Steps you can take at home to treat rashes include using gentle cleansers, dabbing your skin with a warm cloth, using over-the-counter ointments or lotions, and not using irritating cosmetic products. If a rash is caused by a viral infection, get plenty of rest and drink a lot of fluids.
Prescription medications
Your dermatologist offers prescription medicines to clear up certain kinds of rashes.
Allergy treatments
If your rash is the result of an allergy, your provider could recommend oral medicines, allergy shots, or other allergy treatments to reduce the risk of skin reactions.

To reduce your risk of getting chickenpox, shingles, measles, and other rash-causing diseases, get vaccinated for those diseases.
