<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I have a rash around my waist at the level of my belly button. When I went to see my family doctor, she told me it was a waist rash. She made a appointment for me to see a dermatologist, however, the secretary called me to day my appt. is only in 4 months as the doctor is out of town. What over the counter product do I use in the meantime cream or something else?  <response>: Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthacremagicI will keep a possibility of Tina corporalFungal infection. Fungal infections are quite common at this sitewaist line. Classically fungal infections presents as annular or circular patches with raised, red margin, central clearing and variable scaling. Itching is a prominent feature in fungal infections. Since your appointment with your doctor is too far away, I would suggest you to try an OTC topical antifungal e.g. clotrimazole 1 cream, twice daily at the site of the rash. A fungal infection in should respond remarkably well to topical OTC antifungals. However, if the condition does not improve as expected I suggest you to review it with your dermatologist. An OTC oral antihistamine e, g cetirizine 10 mg once daily will provide you symptomatic relief from itching. Regards
