Is there any cream for general skin disorders or itches ?

This all depends on what is causing the itch. If it's minor topical dermatitis, try benadryl or hydrocortisone cream. Calamine also works in some cases. Like a previous poster mentioned, trying Aveeno products helps if the itch is caused by dry skin. Something that I had found that works for some people is emu oil. Yes, a bit on the odd side, but several people swear by it, and I have used it with success on my 1 year old's diaper rash.


Now if the itch is something more serious (ie: psoriasis or eczema) you'll need to see the doctor for potent medication. I have a slight case of psoriasis and use a cream called triamcinolone. This works for me, but might not for you. There are several meds out there, depending on the cause of your itch and/or skin disorder.

If you choose to try hydrocortisone cream, use sparingly. Overuse can eventually lead to thinning of the skin. Report It

Reply:Hydrocortisone cream is for itchiness. Also, Aveeno makes a lotion with menthol in it that is supposed to help with itching.
Reply:see a dermatologist..there are all types of itches and rashes, and you will want to make sure you have the right ointment. other than that, neosporin works wonders for a lot of rash conditions, and will assist in healing your skin as well
Reply:yeah you can get antifungal cream that usually does it. you can buy it in most drug store or dept store.
