A member asked:

What is the best way to treat an itchy rash? does not seem to be poison ivy and is not like hives and not a bite

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Itchy skin: The most important thing is to make sure your skin is moisturized. You can also try an antihistamine to reduce itching and if the rash is bad or persitstant, see a dermatologist.
