German Measles Symptoms, Causes & Treatments

Calamine Lotion

You can apply calamine lotion to alleviate itchy and irritating rashes, which are one of the main signs of German measles. These products are available over the counter at many pharmacies or health stores. They work by providing a counter-irritant effect. After applying, they will evaporate off your skin and have a cooling effect that would minimize the itch. You can use a cotton wool piece to apply the lotion directly to the affected area. Do this around 3 times per day or when necessary to get the best results. [12]
