More information on Itching & Rash Treatments

Itchy skin and rashes can be uncomfortable and even painful. They can also lead to additional unpleasant symptoms like inflamed, cracked and dry skin. There are many potential causes of itchy skin, including conditions like eczema and psoriasis, internal medical conditions such as liver and kidney disease, and external allergens like certain soaps or fabrics. Rashes can be caused by a variety of irritants. Some of the most common causes are chemicals, cosmetics, dyes, and plants such as poison ivy. There are many over-the-counter products that can help treat itchy skin and rashes depending on the cause and severity. Options include tablets and topical sprays, ointments, and creams. All of these varieties of medicine are available for purchase in stores or online at Walgreens.

Types of anti-itch cream

One of the most common ingredients in anti-itch creams is hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid that can help reduce swelling, redness, and itchiness when applied to the skin. Many topical anti-itch creams contain this active ingredient, and they’re available in other forms such as ointments, sprays, and gels. Another common ingredient is diphenhydramine hydrochloride, an antihistamine that can help relieve itchiness associated with minor skin irritation. This is often available as a cream or gel. There are also specific formulas available for kids and more natural products that contain plant-based ingredients. Your healthcare provider may recommend a specific ingredient to help with your symptoms. It’s important to check the label before buying an anti-itch cream. Ask a Walgreens pharmacist for help if you’re having trouble choosing the right option for you.

Types of anti-rash cream

There is a variety of over-the-counter anti-rash medicines that can help soothe many rashes. Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that can relieve itchiness and some rashes on skin. It is a common ingredient in many anti-itch and anti-rash creams. Other anti-rash creams may contain calamine, a medicine that helps relieve itching and pain from skin irritation and rashes. It is typically used to treat mild reactions to plants like poison ivy and poison oak. Over-the-counter products can be a helpful option for many people experiencing mild to moderate rashes. Speak with a Walgreens pharmacist if you’d like to learn about choices available. If your rash is severe and does not go away, contact your healthcare provider.
