Q: what is the best product to use or best home remedy for sensitive irritable skin with a rash/breakout with itchy bumps?

: If the sensitive skin is not due to allergy, topic anesthetic such as lidocaine ointment/cream 4% OTC can be used. If the skin irritation and rash are due to allergic reaction, you can try hydrocortisone 1% OTC but a stronger formula with prescription may be needed.
