Hello, Thanks for your query. Many rashes are the result of irritants or allergens that encounter the skin. It depends on your body and the severity of the rash. Even without treatment, most rashes go away within two to four weeks. If it is very minor it could be a day or two. You should also try the clear ointment by benadryl. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
