A member asked:
What would be recommended to take care of a rash on my shin from my shinguard?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Steroid cream: Contact dermatitis can result from clothing, shoewear or 'contact' with an aggravating substance/material. I would first change shin guards to avoid further rash development and then try otc Hydrocortisone cream. If the rash does not resolve then see your doctor for a prescription.
