Home Remedies for Rashes

Rashes may be a symptom of certain fungal, bacterial, or viral
infections as well. If you have a rash that does not improve or go away
within a few days, you should consult a doctor.


Aloe Vera
Due to its anti-inflammatory, emollient, antibacterial and antifungal
properties, aloe vera is excellent for treating a number of skin
ailments including rashes. Apart from healing, it also soothes the
skin, relieves itching and reduces redness.
Extract fresh aloe vera gel from an aloe leaf.
Apply it on the affected area.
Leave it on for at least 20 minutes, and then rinse it off.
Do this at least three times a day until the rash clears.
If you do not have fresh aloe vera gel, you can buy aloe vera gel or
extract.

Olive Oil
Extra-virgin olive oil works as a great skin moisturizer, facilitates
healing and promotes skin renewal as it is rich in vitamin E and
antioxidants. It will also soothe your skin and reduce itching.
Simply rub extra-virgin olive oil or a combination of equal parts of
olive oil and honey on your rash a few times daily until it heals
completely.
Alternatively, you can add a little turmeric powder to some olive oil
and apply it two or three times a day for a few days. Packed with
antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric soothes rashes
and relieves itching.
In addition to olive oil, castor oil and coconut oil help heal rashes
naturally. A combination of vitamin E oil and cod liver oil is another
popular remedy.
