Use Cortisone ointment. This is an anti-inflammatory that will help stop the itching and the swelling. You can buy this over-the-counter at any grocery store or target. If this does not help, then I would see a doctor if it gets worse or not any better.

Have you tried Arbonne's ABC Herbal Diaper Rash Cream? Although it says "diaper" it is actually used by several people who have eczema and other skin rashes. I would highly recommend it and know several people who have had great luck with it!!
If you would like more information feel free to email me at

Save money by choosing generic anti-itch creams - which contain either cortisone or dyphenhydramine. They work very well. Just pick up the box and compare ingredients to the more expensive name brands like Cortaid.

Over the counter medication: 1% hydrocortisone. Anything stronger requires a prescription.
