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 this rash on my butt for about 2-3 months and I'm not sure what's causing it or how to get rid of it. I've been using a medication called Itrasis200, but I'm wondering if there's something else that might help or if I should try a different approach. Do you have any advice on what could be causing this or other treatments I could consider?

For the rash on your butt, you can try using a topical antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine (Zyrtec) 10mg once daily to help with itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent further irritation.
