Treating rashes
In the usual course, a heat rash will disappear on its own within a few days.
In a few exceptional cases, if the rash lasts for more than three to four days
or gets worse with time, one should immediately consult a doctor as it could
indicate a bacterial, fungal or viral infection.
Treating Hives
If there's no improvement with antihistamines, one should immediately contact
the doctor. Left ignored, in some rare cases, hives can blow up into a much
serious condition called anaphylaxis. Keep on the lookout for symptoms like
dizziness, tongue or face swelling, shortness of breath, tightening of the
throat or wheezing.
How to treat Athlete's Foot
OTC antifungal creams like Lamisil and Lotrimin can bring immediate relief and
continuous application can clear away the condition. However if the symptoms
seem to persist, one may want to visit the doctor for a prescription of
antifungal creams or pills.
