Avatar f tn Tuck took the words right out of my mouth. Thanks Tuck! :) The only thing that I would add is you can get a quick pharmacy consult by calling any Wahlgreens or RiteAid pharmacy department. However, it is important that you consult with your physician on all over the counter regimens you plan to start to make sure that there isn't an underlying health condition that could become worse by partaking in a over the counter regimen. Watch the paracetamol!

Avatar m tn Hello, Such itchy rash can be due to fungal or yeast infection. Most cases respond to over-the-counter products, which contain any of several basic ingredients: miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine, ketaconazole and clotrimazole. You can consult a pharmacist and get any cream or lotion containing these ingredients. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
