I have a bad rash on my right wrist from a rubber band(I think I'm allergic to rubber). Anyway, it really itches and its not getting much better. I've been putting Benadryl Itch Stopping Gel on today but it doesn't stop the itching much. Any suggestions to stop the itching and to let it heal? Cut open a Vitamen E pill and pour it on it?

 

go see a doctor?

 

:werd:

if its not getting any better then that is your best option. You can try some other types of creams and try to give it a few more days if you want. But ultimately if its not getting better you'll have to go see the doctor.

 

get some benadryl, caps or liquid. diphenhydramine is what u r looking for in a generic. most stores have their own allergy medicine with that ingredient. avoid taking anything with tylenol added. u may have to take more then the two 25mg pills of benadryl to get the reaction to go away. any product with 'tylenol added' u cant go over the recommended dose without risking liver problems ie failure.

u have to watch putting hydrocortizone cream on rashes. if its a small area that is ok but dont use it on a large area. the body cant absorb it consistently. plus hydrocortizone cream thins out the skin in the affected area makes it prone to infection. benadryl will make u drowsy until u get use to taking it. a tolerance builds up quickly in a couple of days.

 

Get some Alovera

 

As long as its not bothering your breathing or anything I am pretty sure you'll be ok

 

Toothpaste on it could help. Ive done it before and it helped.

 

Except its been 4 days and hasn't gotten better at all.
I'm going into the health center on my campus and see what they say.
