- If you have developed a rash, it could have been brought on by something harmful or irritating. To address any possible triggers for itching and irritation, thoroughly wash the area using cool to tepid water and a mild, non-sulfate chemical cleanser in order to eliminate all trace of an irritant.
- Keep away from antibacterial cleansers or foaming cleaning agents containing sodium lauryl sulfate or ammonium laureth sulfate as these can irritate irritated skin.
- Be certain the water you use is cool or warm instead of hot; hotter temps could exacerbate any existing symptoms.
