    Just developed a mild rash on my foot after pd-1treatment. What’s the OTC first line of defense against itchy bumps?

      Aveeno lotion plus cortisone ointment. I have a prescription strength steroid ointment but if it's a mild rash then OTC one should work.

      I used a benedryl cream and it worked like a champ for me, although my rash was pretty mild.

        I saw a discussion about itchiness on http://www.melanomaforum.org and they talked about over the counter allergy meds working.  LIke Claritin etc.
