Treating rashes
In the usual course, a heat rash will disappear on its own within a few days.
However, as a preventive measure, one can wear light, breathable garments that
allow for perspiration to get evaporated. One should also steer clear of heavy
creams, make-up or ointments that can end up blocking the sweat ducts.
Treating Hives
One should resist the urge to scratch, as that could worsen the hives, and use
OTC antihistamine for relief. It's also recommended to avoid hot showers and body-hugging
clothing. 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/pills.
