How do you treat body rash?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

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 noticing these things on my face that aren't exactly pimples, but they've got this white pus under the skin, kind of scattered everywhere. And if I press on them, the pus just comes out. I'm really puzzled about what's going on with my skin and was wondering if there's anything I can apply or do to help improve its condition?

Could be a sign of a skin condition called milia. To improve your skin quality, you can try using a topical retinoid cream such as Retin-A (tretinoin) to help exfoliate the skin and prevent further buildup of dead skin cells. Additionally, using a gentle exfoliating scrub containing salicylic acid can help unclog pores and improve skin texture. Make sure to follow up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. Remember to start with a small amount of the products to avoid irritation, and gradually increase as tolerated.
