Home Remedies To Stop A Itchy Rash

Home Remedies To Stop A Itchy Rash

Rashes may appear on their own, or as a symptom of a more serious or more widespread condition. Pruritus rashes may take longer to heal due to scratching compulsion. There are remedies that help relieve itching while the rash is healing, although some treatments that help control the itching will not help cure the rash. If it persists or you are not sure of the cause, seek medical attention.

Cold compresses

Applying a cold compress can help calm soothing skin by slowing the transmission of nerve signals from the affected skin. Use the cold compress with a towel to keep your skin dry. Wet skin can make itching worse. Avoid leaving the compress cold for prolonged periods to prevent restriction of blood flow. If your skin becomes numb, remove the compress.

Aloe vera

Aloe vera is a plant basically known for its ability to help heal burns. But it can also help relieve itching, according to a June 2003 article published in "Dermatologic Therapy." To extract the gel from the aloe vera plant, break a leaf in half its length. Remove the gel from the leaf and apply it directly on the irritated skin. The Gerson Institute states that you can store the rest of the gel in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container.

Topical moisturizers

Moisturizers may help reduce itching. When you choose a moisturizer, look for a product without fragrances or added dyes, which can irritate an area that is already sensitive. Oil-based moisturizers are a good choice, because they allow water to remain on the skin. Calamine lotion is another good choice to relieve itching. This lotion is not known to have common side effects, but pregnant women should take precautions.

Oatmeal Bath

It has been proven that taking an oatmeal bath soothes the skin with itching and irritation. The authors of a February 2007 article published in the "Journal of Drugs in Dermatology" claim that colloidal oatmeal acts as a "cleanser, moisturizer, polisher and anti-inflammatory and soothing anti-inflammatory agent". In some cases, traditional soaps can irritate irritated skin. The chemical saponins of oats can be a good alternative while the rash is healing.
