I have developed a rash on both forearms. What generic over-the-counter (OTC) medications available in the US can I use to treat this?

A rash on both forearms is very common and usually highly treatable. For itching and mild inflammation, you can apply generic hydrocortisone 1% cream twice daily. If an allergic reaction is suspected, an oral antihistamine like cetirizine or loratadine can provide daytime relief, while diphenhydramine can help if itching keeps you awake at night. Applying a gentle, unscented moisturizer containing colloidal oatmeal will also help soothe the skin barrier. Try to avoid scratching to prevent irritation. If the rash worsens, spreads quickly, or is accompanied by a fever, please see a doctor for a professional evaluation.
