A skin rash indicates an abnormal change in skin color or texture. It is a non-specific response from the body that is indicative of irritation. The most common kind of skin rash experienced by most people is that caused by contact with something the body perceives as an allergen, this kind of rash presents with small bumps, redness, and itchiness. It’s hardly serious enough to warrant a doctor’s visit, though it is unsettling enough to merit some attention. You only need to see your physician when you can determine the cause of the rash to be pathogenic, in the sense that it is caused by bacteria, virus, or fungi.

A skin rash can be remedied easily, as there are many different treatments available. Depending on your preferences, or the resources at your disposal, some of the best remedies are:

ALOE VERA

The medicinal use of this plant stretches back hundreds of years, attesting to its potency as a natural cure for different ailments. It has soothing properties have seen it used in the treatment of a wide range of skin ailments. Also good for sunburnt skin, Aloe Vera can be used to help resolve a skin rash. Its wide availability and ease of use makes it one of the best remedies available.

It doesn’t really matter how you use it, so long as you do. If you have the plant, you can break off a leaf, and rub the oozing Aloe Vera gel directly on the skin. Alternatively, you can use an Aloe Vera based gel ointment to achieve the same results.

As far as natural treatments go, you can also try peppermint leaves, almond leaves or fresh basil leaves, if available.

BENTONITE CLAY

The use of Bentonite Clay in skin treatments has become rampant in recent times. Experts have endorsed its restorative properties on skin, and have recommended it in the treatment of different skin ailments. Virgin, untreated bentonite clay produces the best results when it comes to healing a skin rash . Bentonite clay is especially useful when the rash emanates from an insect bite, or contact with a poisonous plant.

Mix the clay in a bowl with a little water until a cream-like consistency is achieved. Apply the clay on the affected area and let it dry.

OATMEAL BATH

When the itch rash affects a significant area of your skin, an oatmeal bath is more ideal. Soaking in it offers your skin relief, especially if the rash appears to be systemic, or generalized. Oatmeal contains some compounds that have demonstrated the ability to fight inflammation. Make sure it’s organic, and uncooked for best result. Simply make a paste of the oatmeal and let it sit for a few minutes if you only have a small patch of skin affected. Alternatively, you can pour the oatmeal in a bath and soak in it. This is ideal for a generalized itch. You can soak for as long as you need to feel the relief. It is recommended for skin rashes that are sometimes accompanied by itchiness.

OINTMENT

A skin rash can be remedied with an over-the-counter ointment easily. REnuCELL is one such ointment that has been specially formulated to heal any kind of skin rash. It’s made from natural ingredients and works effectively to restore the skin to its natural state.

When all other remedies fail, medication can be sought as a last result. A series of antihistamines and antibiotics might be prescribed by your primary health giver, if they establish a clear need for them. Thankfully though, a skin rash never is rarely serious enough to merit medication. Still, they provide a plausible solution and one that warrants mention.
