If you skin gets riled up every now and then, there is every
chance that your skin is either allergic to certain substances, or you
have possibly been infected with a skin disease called atopic eczema.
Atopic
eczema affects more than 35 millions of Americans at any one time. It
is non life threatening but the intense itching that arise from this
skin ailment can means little peace of mind even when you get to bed.
Before
you scratch your skin even further and make your skin worse, we offer
you a few quick relief methods you can take to stop that sudden rash.
Oatmeal bath
Learn
how to make use of oatmeal to help your skin rash rather than just have
them as part of early morning breakfast cereals. What you need to to do
is to soak a cup of oatmeal into your bath. Add a bath product Aveeno
and get yourself into the bath. It's pretty refreshing and great for
calming your skin.
Calamine lotion
You can
purchase this lotion over-the-counter at most pharmacies. Calamine can
help to cool down skin rashes and lessen itching. A cheap and easy way
to counteract those itch.
Avoid Benzocaine
Some
anti-itch products contain ingredients like Benzocaine. Steer clear of
such strong allergens as you may risk worsening your skin rash.
Ginger Juice
Used
in most Chinese food recipes, ginger can soothe any itchiness in any
parts of your body. To apply, just slice a small part of the ginger and
rub the juice directly to your problem area. Works fasts if your itch is
mild.
Moisturizer
Use a
oil-rich moisturizer to prevent skin cracking and irritants from
invading those cracks. May not be effective against severe itch but it
helps to soothe the skin for you.
Ice Treatment
Suppress
the itching area with a plastic bags full of crushed ice. One of the
best method to resist any urge to scratch. The freezing temperature will
cool off the skin and definitely one of the quickest way to stop a
itch.
Antihistamines
This is a drug used to
make rash symptoms better. It is pretty useful against histamine, an
element within us that cause the itchiness to happen. Be careful when
you use antihistamines though, as it may cause drowsiness.

Cure for Skin Rashes and Itching
10:22:00 AM
Common rashes are often called dermatitis, meaning inflammation of the skin; they involve changes in the color or texture of the skin including skin redness or inflammation. Common rashes are also known as skin lesions, Rubor and Erythema.
Skin reactions are more common today due to many new fabrics in use. Some of the body rashes affect the whole body (termed as a generalized), where as others appear on discrete areas of the skin. Skin rashes can be self limiting or require medications. Babies often develop skin rashes because of irritation from the coloring materials in these fabrics. Skin or the body rash is a common term that describes a group of special spots, an area of inflammation or altered color or texture of the skin. Skin rashes might be associated with various other symptoms such as itching, tingling, burning, pain, inflammation and sometimes, surprisingly with no discomfort at all. Belladonna remedy is useful for conditions with sudden onset that are hot, bright red, and throbbing. Rash may be accompanied by fever.
Oatmeal bath is preferred
Applying olive oil to the rash could provide some relief.
Aloe Vera gel, cod liver oil and Vitamin E oil are also helpful in combating body rash.
Using baking powder on the affected area is another suggestion to deal with body and back rash.
Aloe Vera: Widely known for treating burns and sunburns, aloe vera also helps in healing wounds and minor skin irritations such as itchiness and rashes. This plant produces anti inflammatory, anti bacterial, and anti fungal properties. It also contains folic acid, zinc, and vitamins C and E.
Chamomile Essential Oil: Has anti inflammatory (anti-microbial) properties that soothes and eliminates an itchy skin rash and irritations. Chamomile is also used in treating eczema, psoriasis, and sunburn. Please be aware, people who are normally allergic to grass and ragweed may acquire an allergic reaction to chamomile.
Witch hazel: Acts as an astringent that relieves itching and minor skin inflammation. Also used for treating sunburns. For maximum benefit, use fresh witch hazel bark. Simmer one ounce of the bark with one pint of water and leave for ten minutes. Strain and cool. Apply with a clean cloth and leave it on for about thirty minutes.
There are natural alternatives to cortisone cream treatment for rashes. For example Eczema is often treated with cortisone cream to combat the itching. There is, unfortunately, no known cure for Eczema, but natural medicines can help reduce the symptoms of Eczema without the harmful side effects associated with cortisones and other pharmaceutical medications.
There are many treatment of skin Rashes. Cortisone is often used to decrease local inflammation, swelling, burning and itching often associated with common rashes. Many natural remedy creams that provide instant and long-term relief rashes. The best home remedy for body rashes is to apply olive oil on the rash affected area. Belladonna remedy is useful for conditions with sudden onset that are hot, bright red, and throbbing. Rash may be accompanied by fever. Ledum palustre remedy is indicated for a puffy and swollen rash. Both the swelling and the itching are relieved by cold applications.
Itch relief is important, because scratching can itself irritate the skin and lead to more itching, creating an itching-scratching-itching cycle. Fingernails should be kept short to minimize abrasions from scratching. Applying eucalyptus oil on the skin can be helpful or take a cotton ball or Q-Tip and apply Tea Tree Oil full strength to area that is itching.

Main Causes of Itchy Skin
9:32:00 AM
Do you get itchy skin or skin rash? As you know, itchy skin bumps are annoying, distracting and irritating. Therefore, I have updated a list to illustrate most of common causes for itchy red rash you are dying to cure.
1. Allergic Reaction
If you are experiencing skin bumps that are itchy and swollen and seemingly unexplainable skin bumps then it might be caused by an allergy. Skin bumps caused by allergies tend to arrive suddenly and in the form of hives, rashes, or pimple-like bumps. Certain fabric fibers, such as wool, and chemicals that can be found in soaps can be a major cause of itchiness and skin irritation. Furthermore, food allergies can cause itchiness in many people. Therefore, in most of this case, a doctor can test for various food allergies and switching from fragrant soaps to all natural ones can help solve your skin rash and rid the itchiness.
2. Liver Disease
A second reason that I want to mention in this article is Liver Disease. You may laugh at my face that how can liver disease can cause skin rash; just because it stay far from you skin. However, that is true. I don't mean to scare reader but it is true that liver disease is one of main reason that cause of skin irritation. Usually liver disease will cause your whole body to itch rather than just one specific area. Therefore, If you find your whole body itching without rashes you may want to consult a doctor to rule out liver disease as well as other internal diseases they may be the cause.
3. Genetics
Maybe you do not know, genetics can be the most common cause for itchy skin.Your skin's collagen levels are determined by genetics and the greater of amount of collagen in your skin the more likely you are to be predisposed to an itchy red rash. One research about itchy skin in twins indicated that if one twin exhibited itchy skin, or "atopic dermatitis," there was a high correspondence in the same condition being experienced by the other twin, as well.
4.Pregnancy
One more very funny reason for skin rash that is Pregnancy!. It's not uncommon to feel itchy, particularly around your growing belly and breasts as your skin stretches to accommodate them. Hormonal changes may also be partly to blame. Pregnant women often experience itchy skin, especially on their abdomen and breasts. Therefore, if you get itchy skin during the pregnancy time, don't scare about that. You may go to see doctor to get some advices.
5.Drugs
Fist time I think about this reason, I have misunderstood that Drugs reason and Allergic reason may be the same. However, they has some differences. Many people experience reactions to a variety of drugs from antibiotics to narcotics. Therefore, make sure you are aware if you are allergic to any drugs. After all, every doctor will ask you when you go for a routine checkup. In the case you get reactions to drugs, you should be very careful
