Rashes - Causes & Cures |
|
|
Rashes are the red bumps that appear on the skin due to irritation caused by a number of reasons. However, if you understand what causes them in the first place itself, it's much easier to provide the cure.
Causes
Allergies - If your skin is too sensitive and prone to allergies, it may result into rashes. Once the skin erupts into rashes, they must be guarded against infections and fungal growth lest the problem may be worsened.
Dry Skin - Too dry a skin is also vulnerable to rashes. Do not forget that dry skin is also vulnerable to infections and fungal growth as well. Fungal growth and infection not only aggravate rashes further, but they may even result into rashes on healthy skin as well! |

Weather - Sometimes, rashes appear on the skin of some people in a particular weather. For instance, winters are known to dry the skin making it more sensitive to rashes. If you are already suffering from the problem, it may be worsened in winters.
Sunlight - Skin exposed to harsh sunlight for durations longer than usual may result into rashes. Rashes caused by the sun are known as solar dermatitis.
Hereditary - Though you may be surprised, rashes may be hereditary. You might have inherited the problem either from the maternal or the paternal side. When the problem is genetic, it's quite stubborn as well. The skin is dried out further.
Cures
As rashes appear on the skin due to various reasons, they need to be treated accordingly. Usually, rashes are not contagious. But they need to be protected against dust, contact with animals, unwashed clothes, and even sunlight!
Whatever the reason behind rashes, the skin definitely loses moisture and is dried out further. And the sufferer feels like scratching it frequently. It only results into greater number of rashes on the skin.
Here are a few ways to cure rashes.
Drink Lots of Water - Try drinking at least 6 - 8 glasses of water everyday. Water, apart from cleansing the body of toxins, keeps the skin smooth. And we know that it's a dry skin and not a smooth and healthy one that's prone to rashes.
Apply Moisturizing Creams or Lotions - Apply a good moisturizing cream or lotion. If your skin is dry, you need the moisturizers even more. Rashes appear on the skin lacking in moisture. Once the rashes appear, the dry skin is dried out further. And the sufferer feels like scratching it frequently. It worsens the situation. A moisturizer may save you from all this trouble.
Avoid Hot Baths - Avoid hot showers. A hot bath dries the skin. If a cold bath doesn't suit you, you may try a lukewarm one as it doesn't dry out the skin excessively. Also, avoid soaps. If you must apply soap on the skin, it must be a mild one. However, there are various soaps available in the market suitable for dry skin.
Guard Your Skin Against Allergies - Allergies may result into rashes. Identify the source of allergy. You may seek the help of your dermatologist. Stay away from whatever your skin is allergic to. It may be animal furs, flowers, dust, fabrics, etc.
Use Sun Screen Lotions - In case, you suffer from rashes due to sunlight, use a good sun screen lotion. Apply it on your face, hands, arms and the parts of body that are exposed to sunlight before you move out in the open. |
