Types of Skin RashesThere are many types of skin rashes with various levels of severity and from many different causes. Every year many people report their skin rash problems and the cause of many of them go unknown. But take heart, for they can be relieved and the skin restored naturally.
First, know that there are several possible reasons for an outbreak:
1) scaly patches of skin caused by infection
2) scaly patches of skin caused by an allergy
3) scaly patches of skin produced by fungus or bacteria (this includes diaper rash and athletes foot)
4) red, itchy bumps or patches all over the body or scalp from harmful chemicals in commercial skin care products
5) handling or coming into contact with a certain object or substance
Certainly this list is not exhaustive.
What To Do For Skin Rash
People suffering with this condition ask, "What can I do naturally to relieve my skin rash?"
Use natural creams that not only adds much needed moisture but also helps to provide a seal to avoid loss of moisture that is crucial to proper skin repair. A MUST is that it also STOPS the itching while its working! That means using products that contain a powerful humectant as well as an occlusive.
I explain it this way, humectants are like powerful magnets, drawing much needed moisture into the deepest layers of the skin.
Most times our skin does not contain nearly the necessary amount of moisture in the skin layers to promote healthy skin. Therefore, a humectant is a vital ingredient in a proper skin repair. Occlusives, on the other hand, act as a natural barrier by locking in moisture absorbed by the skin and thereby help to protect the skin. This process assists the skin in retaining moisture and leaves the skin feeling smooth and well protected. These are the dynamic qualities that bring about fast, effective relief and protection when you need it.
Be sure that the products you use don't contain mineral oil and
petroleums (these clog your pores!) along with dangerous chemicals. It should contain the vitamins C, A and E as well as soothing Chamomile, Comfrey and Calendula Herbal Extracts, Urea and Shea Butter .
These prime ingredients have a great therapeutic effect on healing and skin restoration as well as work fast.
