How to get rid the desire to itch? I already have the rash. But it is so itchy. I can't stop.

I want something that is dry, because the rash is at a moisty place. Cream is too wet.

First off if you don't know exactly what the rash is yet go to the doctors and get it checked out. But for the time being use Gold bond Medicated powder. It stops the itch and helps heal. The powder will soak up the moister while stopping the itch and healing the rash. But make sure you wash the area really well with warm water and soap and dry the area before applying the powder. I hope this helps. Good Luck and make sure to see the doctor. Oh also if its an allergy of some sort or just an itch like you said, try taking Benodryl, if you can. Be careful with that though and make sure you are not allergic to it. It will target the itch too.

It would depend on what the caused the rash and where it is located on you. If its just a allergic reaction or bug bites then some cream or ointment with hydrocortizone should do the trick and if you don't have to drive or operate heavy machinery then try taking some benedryl. If its caused by a fungal infection then tinactin would help. If the rash is in a mucus membrane then don't put anything over the counter on it and you would need to see a doctor. Can't hurt to eat yogurt too.

Go to a DR. But to help a little you can use head and shoulders even generic will work, it has something to do with the Zinc, after you use that in the shower make sure to put on lotion, like Eucerine, or Aveno. Diaper rash cream like balmex, or desitine works too.

Cortaid cream (cortisone), or zinc oxide ointment (used for baby rash) but if these don't help, have a medical pro have a look.

soak in a tub of warm water and add some apple cider vinegar. that will dry the rash up quick. top with tea tree oil while your pours are still open. it drys out rashes also. it is not oily.

You say it is in a moist place so maybe your rash is fungal. Try Lamisil or some other fungal cream.

any topical ointment with benzocain in it should help.
