Suggest A Remedy For Itchy Rash
Sometimes my feces gets on my skin above my cheeks without me knowing and the area get swollen and rash breaks out starts to itch. I wash the area with soad and water and apply an itching cream or medicated powder or rubbing alcohol. What would you recommend?

Hi,
It may be contact allergic dermatitis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to apply mild steroid cream and to take a course of oral steroid in tapering dose. To relieve itching,take antihistaminics like cetirizine 10 mg daily. Avoid contact with suspected allergens.
Hope this helps.
