depends on the medicine. ask a pharmacist/doctor if it is supposed to be that way.

The burning probably means the rash is already inflamed and sensitive. Either scratching at it or just the rash itself could be causing the sensitivity. Give the medication some time to work before worrying about it. After at least a few days you should be able to tell one way or the other.

It's not good - if it stings then it means it's not the right cream for it. It also depends what caused the rash. Is it a just a normal type of rash or a reaction to something? If it continues I would pay a visit to your family doctor if I were you.

Ok that can mean one of many things
1. Your medication is expired.
2. Your skin is actually torn and thus a medication that is meant to be topical is actually penetrating the barrier and the ingredients in the medication are actually comming in contact with deeper tissues. NOT A GOOD THING!!!!
EITHER WAY HAVE IT LOOKED AT BY AN MD. DONT WAIT.THAT ONLY MAKES THE SITUATION WORSE.
It would really suck if you ended up in a situation where you were facing amputation, when you should have simply had it looked at by a professional.

For a rash i don't think so. It might give u a burning sansation but it can make your rash worser. i tried it and my one got worser. So the best thing to do is to go to a doctor and get a cream that fits U.

Anything that has alcohol, salts, cayenne, ( and many other subtances) in it is going to sting an open sore. If the burning persists, wash it off.
Jewelweed and probably other herbal preparations can burn if they are too strong.

sometimes. (in the case of iodine)
but ussually not. you might feel some discomfort maybe a little itching but if it is burning to the point of being painful wash it off. unless its one of the products that work when they burn like iodine

No - probably not. You should call your doctor.
