We need to determine the cause of rash and then treat accordingly. If you get a red rash with itching , it may be mostly due to an allergy which can be relieved by applying Moisturiser, wet cloth or ice pack to the affected area. You may need to take some antihistamine medications too under doctor's supervision.

I've been dealing with a lot of dandruff lately, and it's started to cause pimples on my face. What can I do about this dandruff problem? Any advice would be appreciated.
Dandruff can be treated with anti-dandruff shampoos containing ketoconazole. You can try using Nizoral shampoo twice a week for 4 weeks to help reduce dandruff. Additionally, for the pimples on your face, you can use a topical acne treatment such as benzoyl peroxide gel (2.5%) once daily on the affected areas. Remember to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management if the symptoms persist.
