What gets rid of a rash overnight?

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 lichen planus pigmentosus and it's left some noticeable acne on my face. I'm really into makeup and I've been wondering if it's okay to use it to cover up these spots. I just want to make sure I'm not going to make things worse or do something that could harm my skin. Could using makeup cause any issues with acne from lichen planus pigmentosus? What should I consider before applying anything?

It is generally safe to apply makeup to hide acne caused by lichen planus pigmentosus. However, it is important to choose non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic makeup products to avoid exacerbating the acne. You can use a gentle cleanser, apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer, and then use a concealer or foundation to cover the acne. Additionally, you can consider using topical treatments prescribed by your dermatologist to treat the underlying lichen planus pigmentosus.

I've got these three rash spots near my genitals, like right on my thigh. They're ring-shaped, different sizes, and super itchy. I'm worried they might not just be a skin irritation. Could it be something like a fungal infection or something else I need to get checked out? What do you think?

Can I use Dermadew cream for skin brightening, or should I try Angie Thailand soap instead? I'm really curious about what would work better. Could you please advise me?

For skin brightening, Dermadew cream is a safer option as it's a topical cream specifically formulated for skin brightening and hyperpigmentation, whereas Angie Thailand soap may contain harsh ingredients like hydroquinone or mercury, which can have adverse effects; however, always do a patch test and consult a dermatologist before using any new skincare product.
