Learn how to treat common symptoms of allergic reactions, including rashes and anaphylaxis. Allergic reactions can cause hives, rashes, and other skin irritations. Minor allergic reactions can be safely treated at home..
Aloe Vera
We love aloe vera for just about every kind of skin irritation. Aloe is probably best-known for its ability to heal sunburns, but it’s extremely versatile as it soothes the skin and relieves swelling and irritation. If you live in Southern California, there’s probably an 85% chance it’s already growing in your yard.
How to use it:
Break off a leaf from the plant, and cut it open lengthwise from top to bottom with a knife. Scoop out the gooey gel inside, and rub it directly onto irritated skin. If you have extra left over, you can keep it refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week.
Clay
Clay is very helpful for itching and a number of other skin issues such as acne.The clay helps draw the venom out of the skin, which will help relieve the pain and let the sting heal more quickly.
How to use it:
Mix the clay in a bowl or cup with a bit of filtered water until it has a creamy consistency like peanut butter.Place the clay-covered cloth to the irritated area, with the clay directly touching the skin (see the picture on the right). You can use bandaging tape or wrap it in plastic wrap to keep the cloth in place and protect your clothing and furniture. Keep the clay pack on for about 4 hours, or until the clay is hard and dry. Then, just dab the clay paste onto itchy areas, let it dry, then rinse or peel it off.
