I developed skin on fire and blistery rash after one week on triple combination treatment. I tried everything and then the Doc. gave me 2.5 prescription strenght hydro-cortisone and that cleared up the whole thing.

A bath with apple cedar vinegar helps. About 2 cups per bath, luke warm.

Do you take hot showers? That can exacerbate skin irritation, namely dryness.

That's exactly what I have. I use cetaphil body wash and gold bond afterwards, it cools down a bit. It's a horrible feeling, but there isn't much we can do...
