An over-the-counter (OTC) anti-itch corticosteroid cream like hydrocortisone can help alleviate the itch associated with sun rash.
Here's a breakdown of other creams that may be helpful:
- Calamine lotion: Can help soothe itching and inflammation.
- Hydrocortisone cream: A mild corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and itching.
- Other anti-itch creams: Some creams contain ingredients like menthol or camphor, which can provide a cooling sensation and relieve itching.
It's important to note:
- If your rash is severe or doesn't improve with home remedies, see a doctor.
- Always follow the instructions on the product label.
