Dr. Mika Hiramatsu answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

OTC meds: A little Hydrocortisone 1% ointment and a little antibiotic ointment (e.g. Neosporin, bacitracin) a couple times a day should do the trick. It works best if you use them right after shaving as a preventive rather than waiting for the rash to appear.
