For mild skin irritation, redness, or itching, you can apply an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream (0.5% to 1%) twice daily for a few days. For dry or sensitive skin, fragrance-free moisturising creams containing ceramides or petroleum jelly work well to restore the skin barrier. If the irritation is due to an allergic reaction, oral antihistamines like cetirizine or fexofenadine can provide relief, while calamine lotion is excellent for soothing itchy skin. If your symptoms worsen, spread, or show signs of infection like pus, please consult a healthcare professional for a personalised evaluation.
