Need to see a doctor: If the itching is just from sensitive skin or dry skin, such as eczema, then one can use an over-the-counter cream such as cerave, cetaphil, or eucerin. Adding Hydrocortisone cream for 1 week will help. Taking otc antihistamines such as Claritin (loratadine) or zyrtec helps too. The itching may also be due to an internal disorder, such as liver problems or intestinal parasites, so one should see a doctor.

See your doctor: It is important to go see the doctor while you have the rash. Rashes are one of those things that the doctor has to see while it is there to determine the cause and the best treatment. If it has different stages to it and you can't get in more than once, you can take digitial pictures of the rash in its various stages to help the doctor.
