Try Bag Balm. I had a rash on my chest for over two years and everything I tried didn’t work until a friend told me about Bag Balm, which was originally used to treat cow udders. The rash was gone after 3 days and never came back. It is now sold in the salve section in many stores, so word must have gotten out about this great salve. It is a great salve, with many uses and I always will keep a tin of it handy.

Here is a good remedy for a facial rash. I used a night cream and it made my face itch so bad, tried everything and all dried out my face and made me itch even more. I rubbed some olive oil on the rash and what a relief.

There is a rash that forms as a small thin red scaly patch. When first spotted there are usually a few dime/nickel size or a much larger patch with smaller ones that form right near the initial ones that formed. They spread all over the body and are unsightly. This is a type of fungus you can't wash away as it only tends to spread as the tiny scales are moved and provided a moist area on which to proliferate. Scratching at them when they're itchy, wearing clothes that rub against then, sheets and pillow cases may also help spread them around. They usually attach to only particular skin types and leave white spots all over where the larger patches were before the scales died off, scrubed or moved off or destroyed - this refers to tanned skin, so as to remove the outer layer leaves a lighter lower layer of skin.
I have tried several prescribed creams that didn't do the job. The answer and only answer I know of is Nizoral which also happens to be the best Dandruff shampoo out there as it will remove the cause of dandruff, not just the dandruff. It's about $13 cad for a small bottle here but you only need to use it every now and then, regardless of which of the 2 problems you need to resolve.

Use aloe Vera, DON'T touch your face if at all possible. If itchiness occurs use CeraVe (non-prescribed)
If continuation continues:
CONSULT A DERMATOLOGIST/ AND OR DOCTOR!

4 or 5 yrs battling a summer rash. I suspected flea bites first year, red ants the second, fungal infection from the oils and sweat of horses, tinea varicolor, infection from scratching - It was like poison ivy but did not spread. Turns out it was from weedwhacking ragweed. Discovered this remedy by accident. Bought Glycerin to preserve the skin of a coral snake that disputed my right to pick blackberries (LOL) After using the Glycerin on the snake skin I discovered it was clearing up the rash around hands and arms. Tried it on legs with great success, even made a couple of boil like blind pimples clear up in just a couple days instead of a couple weeks.

I am allergic to alot of things, and I have tried all kinds of ointments out there. The best thing to cure a rash is rubbing alcohol. Whenever the rash itches, rub it on the rash, it feels as good as scratching and it helps dry the rash right up.
