stop scratching it even if it makes you wanna scratch it like bloody hell. try washing it and putting lotion on it to soothe it.

Dont' scratch. Try anti-bacterial lotion, or anti itch cream. See if it helps. If the promblem is still there or worsens in a few days, go to a doctor.

Don't scratch it. Wash it really well with soap & then put on itchy medicine. I'm sure it will go away in days. [:

put some vaseline on it...
lotion never helps for me. it could be that rash for people with sensitive skin... eggzima or something like that??? from big daddy? i had the same rash, but as soon as i put on this medicine, it went away the next day. the medicine's called: betamethasone dipropionate ointment usp, 0.05%. =T get it prescribed... best help i could do for now. |

^^agreed.
wheee.. just don't scratch it. no matter how itchy it is, if you scratch it more it might bleed or stay there forever. lols. >< it'll go away by itself if you leave it alone for awhile. =) |

Is it all the time? Might want to check with a doctor if it is.
If not, (as someone said) try washing it, then some lotion. If that doesn't work, try an oatmeal bath. |

This happened to me, and i was having an allergic reaction. if your on a medication i would talk to your parents/doctor. And then moisturize and dont scratch.

Depends on what kind of rash it is. Sometimes drinking Benadryl and taking a short nap would help the rash go away. But this only happens if your skin is sensitive to a certain something. Like, I'm allergic to MSG in certain foods, and if I eat it, most likely I'll get a skin rash. The medication will help but taking a nap afterwards will heal the rash quicker. If this doesn't help, then either follow any of the suggestions and recommendations the above posters have said. Otherwise, call up a dermatologist.
