My physio accidentally put a plaster on me containing colophony. i now have a severe reaction. what can i do to relieve rash.

Contact dermatitis: First remove the offending plaster and then you will need moisturizers and topical steroids. If you rash is pretty bad you may need oral steroids. See your doctor about it.
