Yes: You may try Hydrocortisone, which is available over-the-counter as a cream. Apply it to the affected areas twice a day. Please follow up with your doctor if the skin is not improving or also if it appears to get worse.

Hydrocortisone Cream: You can get Hydrocortisone cream 1%. It is over the counter, apply this to the itchy rash. If the rash is not gone in 48hours, or if the rash is getting worse within a few hours, see your pediatrician to make a proper diagnosis of the rash
