Is there anything I can buy over the counter to help with the burning. I put vaseline under my arms to keep from sticking it helps but now with the burns from the oil. The skin did peel where the ointment was and rash is there near the other boil .
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Ichthammol is used in many a skin conditions. But it has an irritant action on skin which may result in rash. The rash is transient and often SEL limiting. As you are experiencing more burning sensation, you can use Lac to calamine alone or in combination with liquid paraffin or dimethyl Chat Doctor.  These would definitely help you. These preparations are non-sticky (unlike Vaseline) and are available as over the counter. Hope you recover footage Care
