Alternative to Steroids for Rash

in reply to @mabbs24 I suffer from rashes due to dry skin and a liver issue, and my dermatologist recommended using Aquaphor, which I have found to be very helpful. In fact, she even recommended I use the Aquaphor as a night cream because my skin is so dry, and since I have been using it more frequently, I have noticed a huge difference in terms of itching and the overall appearance of my face. I do have prescriptions for the steroid ointments and creams, and like you, wanted to avoid them, but for different reasons. Another product I have found to be helpful with rashes/itching is Bactine spray, which is also very soothing, especially on my back and torso. I did try using the OTC steroid spray but that left a strange "film" on my skin so I stopped using it. Best of luck to you.

Thank you for your reply @frances007. I will definitely try the Aquaphor. It sounds as if it will be very soothing not only on the rashes but also on my dry winter skin. The Bactine spray
might help the itchy rash on my lower back which are hard to reach. Thank you so much!
