Coconut oil or shea butter can help restore the skin’s natural lipid barrier, preventing further dryness and irritation. For mild rashes, a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream (available over the counter) can also help ease itching and redness.
If the irritation is caused by shaving or waxing, switch to a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer and avoid tight clothing that might rub against the skin.
