Application of Topical Treatments

Envato

After cleansing, application of topical treatments begins. Over-the-counter creams or lotions containing calamine or hydrocortisone can help soothe the itching and inflammation. These can be applied as frequently as needed for relief, following the product's instructions.

Cool compresses, applied several times a day for 15 to 20 minutes, can help cool the skin, reduce swelling, and relieve discomfort. If blisters form, do not pop them. This can lead to infection. Instead, cover them loosely with a sterile bandage.
