Esther, I don't know if this will help but whenever I get rashes or skin irritations, I bath in epson salt water, it helped with my shingle outbreak. I get the half gallon size salt at the drug store..it would be worth a try..sherryg683

Sherry and Esther - you can also try aloe gel/cream on the rash as that may help as well. I will be starting both next week so we'll see how it goes. I swear by vaseline petroleum jelly on my feet now so maybe that's another way to go, put socks on and do your hands at night with cotton gloves - worth a try.
