Viral rashes go away after a short period of time. Bacterial rashes may require oral or topical antibiotics. The treatment for ringworm involves several weeks of topical antifungal ointments. For urticaria that is limited to the leg, a topical antihistamine or steroid may help decrease the swelling, but often, the allergic reaction needs treatment with oral antihistamines or steroids.

Tue, 28 Sep 2010 01:47:50 +0000 http://www.dxal.net/?p=114#comment-14418 Once your baby has diaper rash you will know. The first thing you will want to do is make your baby more comfortable. One sure thing you can do is to lie your baby on a cotton blanket without his diaper. Another thing you can do is to hold your baby in front of a fan on low speed so that the air is directly hitting the diaper rash but do not leave the baby for the fact the fan can take the breath out of younger babies while older babies can put their fingers in the fan. Give your baby a warm water bath followed by applying pure aloe Vera gel (usually this can be found in health food stores or near the sun tan lotions), gently towel dry and diaper as usual. If you prefer to use a powder, apply about 2 tablespoons full inside the diaper itself instead of on your baby. If you feel you must use an ointment, please do be careful, because once on, these are hard to come off and you may irritate the baby’s rash more coming off than they actually help. Since all babies are unique individuals with different skin sensitivities, you will need to find what works best for your own baby. Once your baby has diaper rash you will know.
