I'm dealing with this spider pee rash that came back on my upper thigh. The first time I got it, my doctor friend told me to use Clobeng a few times a day, and luckily there wasn't any itching then, so I just went with that treatment. But now it's showing up again and causing irritation. I've started using Clobeng once more, but I'm concerned it might not go away entirely this time. How can I get rid of it for good?
