Ok so my friend washed my swim suit in Tide (which im allergic to) can I use calamine lotion (that stuff for poison ivy) or is there something else i can use?
In case its important the rash is on my chest, my arms, and my belly (no where else)

You can safely use calamine lotion on your rash but Hydro-cortisone cream would be more effective and give you greater relief. Try to avoid scratching as this may cause infection. Benadryl taken orally would also help but the Hydro-cortisone cream will work more quickly. Best of Luck and God bless!

yes use calamine on it and also take a benadryl if your not allergic to it..try bathing in oatmeal too about 2 cups to a tub of water

I agree with Mashiara. take benadryl and drink LOTS of water

you have an elergy, so it would be best to take prescribed medicine as elergys are related to blood and not just skin surface, counsult a doctor dont try home remidies as it might worsen the elergy

yes, take the Benadryl and wait for the effects to wear off.

No get Benadryl max. strength for itch. call a Dr if it doesn't go away.
