Prescription Medications

If you are suffering from a non-infectious rash caused by an allergy or direct contact with irritants, then your doctor might prescribe some medications to alleviate the symptom. For example, intravenous or oral antiviral drugs can be used to treat herpes, a viral infection. Fungal infections such as ringworm or tinea can be treated with an oral or topical antifungal medication. For eczema, medicated creams or topical steroids can be helpful. [10]
