Having a rash for 20 days means it is best to consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis, as different rashes require different treatments. To help soothe your skin safely in the meantime, you can apply a mild, fragrance-free moisturizer or a thin layer of over-the-counter hydrocortisone 1% cream to relieve itching. Avoid using steroid creams on your face or for long periods without a doctor's guidance. If the rash is itchy, an oral antihistamine like cetirizine may help. Avoid harsh soaps and hot water. Please see a doctor promptly if you develop a fever, pain, or rapidly spreading redness.
