You may have a new rash, or a rash that you have literally had for years ~ like myself! General Practitioners, Dermatologists, drug stores and pharmacies alike make 10\'s of millions of dollars per year doling out; creams, ointments, steroids, injections and prescription after prescription - all of this without curing your rash, or worse . . . seeing it go away only to return!
Quite possibly you have spent $100\'s of dollars between doctors, creams and prescriptions that have not worked!
The medically sound age old saying is more true than you think; 'there\'s no money in the cure, just the medicine', which keeps you coming back. If they just told you \'How To Get Rid Of A Rash\', then you wouldn\'t have to come back ~ and that\'s just bad for business.
Conversely, and despite famous lines to the contrary, weird remedies don\'t always work to cure some natural conditions, and in this case we are talking about a rash. Yes ~ the villainous red, itchy, unsightly, aggressive, embarrassing and annoying \'rash\'.
William Shakespeare once claimed some benefit in the famous formula doled out as; 'eye of newt, tongue of frog, wool of bat and hair of dog!' These aren\'t really feasible remedies to cure a rash?
It shouldn\'t be too hard to figure out that there are some better homemade remedies than those, and most homeopathic cures do not attempt to even fix the problem, which is usually the underlying source of your rash. After all, Shakespeare was only a poet! But what can we take away from natural home cures for common rashes? Do they really do more than just make the affected skin feel better?
For generations, humans have relied on natural remedies and old wives\' tales from everything on how to prolong life, to how to cure skin break-outs. While these potions are simple and cheap, these old-fashioned remedies are made from ingredients from your herb garden or pantry.
Most of these ancient 'cures' are more soothing than curative, and certainly none of these have been seen to work in the rash-sufferer\'s system to actually prevent any further rash discomfort.
A long respected balm for irritated skin is an oatmeal poultice, which soothes as it reputedly draws out impurities and inflammation from the skin. A modern way to fashion this old-time remedy is to moisten oatmeal straight from the package and apply a thick warm glob to the affected skin for a soothing relief. The oatmeal should not be allowed to stay on the skin too long; leaving it in place could become abrasive and undo the soothing effect of the warm wet oats!
While this tried and true home remedy, warm soothing oats smeared all over your rash has a chance of making the rash feel better, in fact, it will not cure the rash nor the reason for its appearance in the first place, but many people try it when they become desperate.
Don\'t become desperate!
With some effort you can figure out; How To Get Rid Of A Rash.
Since a rash is most likely the skin\'s honest response to something the body does not like, merely rubbing a potion on it, no matter how natural and well-respected that something is, will not cure the rash as it originates from the body\'s response to something that makes its immune system fight to heal itself.
Another very odd home remedy; combine ten to fifteen basil leaves with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Hmm . . . OK, are we making a salad dressing, pasta sauce or curing a rash? If you actually believe this, but are too embarrassed to try it, you could always just spill your dinner on your rash and then refuse to clean it off stating that it is against your religion. My personal opinion is that this does NOT work, AND smelling like something that just walked out of an Italian restaurant does not sound that appealing to me!
You may be asking yourself, do these remedies actually work? The real answer is a resounding NO!
That being said, some people say they do work and others feel they are not effective. It is simply based on each individuals condition and quite possibly your love for Italian food.
All bodies are different, all rashes are different and everyone will react differently to any treatment and the rash itself. One insect bite may only be a simple irritant for one individual but to another it may be extremely painful and equally discomforting.
Occasionally, the effect of too little sleep will cause a rash-like apparition under ones sleep-deprived eyes. This can be made more comfortable by the application of moist tea bags over the eyelids and skin beneath the eyes. This also works on some individuals as a way to remedy \'bags under the eyes\', also a manifestation of too little sleep.
Rashes are a usual reaction to something the body is unhappy with; some medically trained personnel believe this extends to accumulated wastes building up in the body and advocate root-based body cleansers known to make the body sweat.
Examples of this are burdock root, yarrow root, sarsaparilla root, red clover root, and Polk root. While these natural compounds are readily available at natural food stores and seem to have no toxic effects on the body, they also have no demonstrated preventative effects on various rashes.
The best way to simply remedy or prevent an itchy rash is to avoid substances that you have an allergy to. This is not always possible as new allergies can pop up in the body without any warning.
Staying away from items known to cause an allergic reaction or that make you feel strange and out of sorts is one easy way to begin to identify items that you may be sensitive to, without waiting for them to give you a rash!

I have suffered from rashes my entire life, literally from head to toe. I was starting to consider myself the rash \'poster child\'. From; eczema, to dermatitis, athletes foot, to ringworm, to allergic reactions (both from medications & the great outdoors), folliculitis, as well as psoriatic arthritis.
One of my worst rashes by far was caused by an allergic reaction to an injection of \'Enbrel\'. It looked like I had literally burned my foot and legs with acid. For two years doctors rheumatologists and dermatologists all failed miserably.
I have gone to doctor after doctor, I have tried; creams, steroids, injections, prescription after prescription and NOTHING I used would get rid of my rash quickly, or permanently. I searched the Internet and no one had a solution.
I was so distraught I finally invented my own, and so fed up with doctors & dermatologists that I am giving it away for free!
