It is recommended that the patient apply topical ointments for treatment, which will lead to the resolution of the rash. Calamine lotion can be used and applied in small amounts multiple times to the affected areas with redness. Meanwhile, avoid continuing to consume foods containing caffeine. It is advisable to eat more protein-rich and vitamin-rich foods in daily diet to enhance immunity, effectively control the allergic reaction, and promote overall health.
