Have a new rash? ...
Has your skin suddenly become red, itchy or inflamed? Possibly a rash? You may be experiencing contact dermatitis. Remember that moisturizers can play an important preventative role by increasing the skin's hydration levels and maintaining and repairing its barrier function. Inflamed skin is warmer, so more water evaporation takes place. In response to the irritation, regular application of moisturizers will protect and calm the skin. If you don't see an improvement in the rash within 2 or 3 days, consult your doctor for available treatments and to determine the cause of the allergic reaction.
