I have a skin rash. how do i know what ointment to apply?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That will be dependent on what the rash looks like, where it is located on your body, how big it is, if it itches, if it hurts, if it is oozing, if there is any blistering or crusting. A picture or very detailed description at minimum is necessary.
