Irrespective of your skin color, wearing a sunscreen of at least 40 SPF is essential to reduce itching and redness. A low strength cortisone ointment , not cream , is best for the itch if it continues to be a problem

Stinging/itching/burning(feeling)/rash. Multiple times a day. Allergist and derm doctors had no answers. For sure not hives or skin issue. Suspect either a nerve or less likely prickly heat. Am I wrong to think this?

I've had a rash ontop of my foot for a few years. It has no pain, doesn't feel hot, itches when dry, isn't black it essentially looks like dry skin with some pink under and feels like it. I've had doctors prescribe a few creams and they all do naught?
